[1] Find all positive integers that cannot be written as the sum of 2 or more consecutive positive integers.

[2] Find all integers that cannot be written as the sum of 2 or more consecutive integers.

[3] Find all positive integers that can only be written as the sum of 2 or more consecutive positive integers in one way.

[1] 2ⁿ : n is a nonnegative integer
[2] There is no integer that cannot be written as the sum of two or more consecutive integers
[3] The number of ways a number can be represented is at least equal to (2ⁿ - 1) where n is the number of different odd prime factors in the number. Thus, only numbers with one odd prime factor may be written as the sum of 2 or more consecutive positive integers in one way.
