We need to ignore one of the 5's since they are listed twice.

Hi datonman,

It looks like Brent missed the prime numbers and one of the even multiples (26), so his list should also include:

2, 3, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19 and 23

Total = 22

Final Answer: D

Good catch, Rich. I totally glossed over that information.

I have edited my response accordingly.

Cheers,
Brent

I have 2 questions regarding this.

Why did you not include the 19 in your listing? and what does the sum of positive multiple of 2 and sum of positive multiple of 4 mean?

Pls explain

Thanks

Why not work backwards?

1 doesn't work, 4 doesn't work, and all of the composite odds that aren't divisible by 5 don't work (9, 21, 27). Every other even will be either prime (2) or the sum of two multiples, since you can simply take 4 and add any even to it that to you like (e.g. 4+2 = 6, 4+2*2 = 8, 4 + 2*3 = 10, etc.)

So there are five numbers that don't work out of 27 total, leaving us with 22 valid options.
