hey guys yes it was marked and the teacher said 52 cannot be done so a trick question!!

thanks to all for your help
 
But it obviously could be done, so maybe she has now learnt something!!!

The teacher needs leasons on 'Prime' numbers!
 
yea maybe, however it was nowhere mentioned about using prime numbers just consectutive maybe they havent covered them yet?
 
Ok, maybe they haven't..... don't tell me she's 8 years old? Sorry, was thinking along 13 to 16 years old type problems?
 
Well that sounds like productive homework...
 
How is it a trick question? :think: Isn't there supposed to be some sort of...well...trick?
