Let the two consecutive integers be n and n+1.

Then, n + (n + 1) < 55

2n + 1 < 55

2n < 55 - 1 : 2n < 54

n < 27

The Inequality Statement can therefore be modified to show that for two consecutive integers to be less than 55 then the smaller integer must be less than 27.

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