Twenty cards, six piles


I have twenty cards with the numbers from 1 to 20 on. I want to put them in six piles.
It doesn't matter how many cards are in each pile.
But I want the sum of the numbers in each pile to be the same (so when you add the numbers in a pile together you get the same for each pile).

Which cards go in which pile?

  1. I just want to tell you something that if we are only using the numbers up to 1-20 are we supposed to use the numbers once.

  2. Yes that's right. You have 20 cards, each with a different number on. Each card can only go into one pile.
