No.
The sum of two odd numbers or two even numbers is an even number.
The sum of an even number and an odd number is an odd number.
The sum of 5 odd numbers is:
((odd + odd) + (odd + odd)) + odd = (even + even) + odd
= even + odd
= odd
But 32 is an even number, therefore it cannot be the sum of 5 odd numbers.

No (Assuming you mean if they are added together).The sum of an odd number (e.g. 5) of odd numbers will always be odd!
Either go ahead and add them, or use the formula for an arithmetic series.

Without breaking or bending a toothpick, you can spell the word, "FIN," with exactly seven toothpicks, with no letter sharing a toothpick used by another letter.

That isn't possible. The sum of three odd numbers will always be odd. You can make the sum of 3 prime numbers equal to 32 if one of them is 2 (which is not odd).

How many are you thinking of, and exactly how do they "make" 32 ? Do they add ?Subtract ? Multiply ? Divide ? Exponentiate ?How about ' 2 ' and ' 3 ' ? They're consecutive, and when written adjacently, they make ' 32 ' .

Some people say its impossible but its really not. 5 odd numbers can make 32, if you add them together. Its as simple as this:15+9+5+3. You may think its 4 numbers but its not. 1 is one number, 5 is two numbers, 9 is 3 numbers, 5 is four numbers, and 3 is five numbers. You asked for 5 odd numbers and they are all odd, and it equals 5 numbers. This question is more of a riddle, than a math question. It takes brilliant minds to know this stuff. (Still dont understand: when you look at those numbers, 15 is not one number, its really two numbers, so dont look at it as 15, look at it as 1, and 5. ) I really hope this helped you because it took me 3 hours to figure this answer out!
