    Well, the sum has to be less than 83. Do you think maybe it could be 82??

    Sadly, it couldn't be 82. If two integers are consecutive, then one is even and

    one is odd, and their sum is always odd. So the greatest sum less than 83

    is going to be 81.

    Since the integers are consecutive, both of them have to be right around

    half of 81. Half of 81 is (40 and 1/2), so let's try 40 and 41:

    40 + 41 = 81 That's it! yay!
