The easiest way to figure out these type of problems is to take the number in question (918) divide it by how many consecutive numbers there asking for (/ 3 = 306) and then add the number before and after the sum(305 & 307). Answer: (918 / 3 = X) + (X - 1) + (X + 1) = 918 [Solve for "X"] 918 / 3 = 306 + (306 - 1) + (306 + 1) = 918 918 / 3 = 306 + 305 + 307 = 918 Note: There may be a more efficient way to write the equation but I am no math wiz so I broke it down into the easiest way I knew how.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
