Let a1<a2<...<an a_1 <a_2 <... <a_n consecutive positive integers (with n>2 n> 2 ). A grasshopper jumps on the real line, starting at point 0 0 and jumping n n to the right with lengths a1 a_1 , a2 a_2 , ..., an a_n , in some order (each length occupies exactly once), ending your tour at the 2010 2010 point. Find all the possible values n n of jumps that the grasshopper could have made.
