what is the smallest number that can be written as a sum of three natural numbers in two different ways?
the answer is 251
How about 11. (1 + 3 + 7) and (2 + 4 + 5) I can't swear that 11 is the smallest but it's smaller than 251.
.
8 = 4 + 3 + 1
8 = 5 + 2 +1
Hi Geno, That's a good one, and I did think of it. I didn't submit it because,
although the problem isn't explicit about not using the same number in both
groups (i.e., the "1"), I imposed that limitation on myself.
