Why can't the sum of any 4 consecutive numbers be a multiple of four?

It wouldn't be able to be because since all of the the numbers that could fit is probably going to be a decimal. Let's say we find 4 consecutive numbers of 32.

Equation:

x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=32

4x+6=32

    -6    -6

4x=26

x=6.5 1. 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, 9.5

As you can see, the consecutive number is going to be a decimal.

Is it possible for two different numbers, when squared, to give the same result?
lawyer [7]

Actually, yes, it is possible for two different numbers to give the same result when squared.

In my last answer, I wrote that it wasn't, but I realize now where my mistake was made.

When a number like positive 4 is squared, the answer is 16. When a number like negative 4 is squared, the answer is also 16. I think that the only time when two different squared numbers have the same result is when they are the same number but have a different positive/negative sign.

I hope this helps.
