- [ ± 6] How many distinct sets of 8 positive odd integers sum to 20?
Solution: This is the same as the number of ways 8 nonnegative even integers sum to
12 (we subtract 1 from each integer in the above sum). All 11 possibilities are (leaving out
0 s): 12, 10 + 2, 8 + 4, 8 + 2 + 2, 6 + 6, 6 + 4 + 2, 6 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2, 4 + 4 + 4, 4 + 4 + 2 + 2,
4 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2, 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2.
