Tap to reveal answer

Answer

We can divide this group number into two parts. The first part is \left \{ -155, 155\right \} and the second part is \left \{ 156, 160\right \}.

The first group is symmetrical, so the sum of this group of numbers is 0. Now for the second part there are only two numbers left according to the question (sum of odd numbers), which is 157 and 159.

Therefore, the answer is .
