Polite numbers 2001-01-02
From A student:
A positive whole number, greater than 1, is said to be a polite number if it can be expressed as a sum of consecutive whole numbers

Find all the polite numbers less than 21. Find a pattern in the numbers that are not polite. Explain why every odd number greater than one must be polite.
