    Finding odd numbers

    I am trying to write a short and concise C++ program to find the following:
    6 non repeating odd numbers who's sum equals 60.
    The smallest odd number equals to 1.
    The largest odd number equals to 17.
    Please Help. I writing too many lines of code and I am told it can be done in simpler ways.
    Thank You.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
