Identify three positive odd consecutive integers.
Square each number, then add.
Add 1 to the result.
Investigate.
O.1 If 1 is added to the sum of the squares of three
consecutive positive odd integers, an even number is
obtained.
O.2 The sum of the squares of three consecutive
positive odd integers plus 1 is always divisible by 12.
O.3 The unit digit of the result is repeated every five
sets when the result is divided by 12.

O.4 The difference between the two consecutive

sets of three positive odd integers on the second
trial is 24 and 216.
