Problem
Call a fraction 
, not necessarily in the simplest form special if 
and 
are positive integers whose sum is 
. How many distinct integers can be written as the sum of two, not necessarily different, special fractions?
Solution
Listing out all special fractions, we get: $\{\frac{1}{14}, \frac{2}{13}, \frac{3}{12}, \frac{4}{11}, \frac{5}{10}, \frac{6}{9}, \frac{7}{8}, \frac{8}{7}, \frac{9}{6}, \frac{10}{5}, \frac{11}{4}, \frac{12}{3}, \frac{13}{2}, \frac{14}{1}}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
