Adding 5 odd numbers gets you an odd number:
odd + odd = even + odd = odd + odd = even + odd = odd.
I'm pretty sure there is no answer, but, I'm no math wiz.

Assuming that you are using only positive integers, this is impossible because only addition of an even amount of odd numbers produces an even number. An odd amount of odd numbers will always, always, always produce and odd #.
On the other hand, if you are allowed to use negative integers, there are many possibilities.

Not getting the answer. Not possible it seems since all are odd numbers.
