Sorry, the solution is published in Hungarian only.

Megoldás: Legyenek a számok a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i - ebben a sorrendben. Bizonyítsunk indirekt: tegyük fel, hogy bármely 4 egymás melletti szám összege kisebb, mint 40. Ekkor:

(a+b+c+d)+(b+c+d+e)+(c+d+e+f)+\ldots+(i+a+b+c)<9\cdot40,

4.(a+b+c+d+e+f+g+h+i)<360,

4.90<360,

ami ellentmondás. Tehát kiinduló feltevésünk nem lehet igaz, vagyis van 4 egymás melletti szám, melyek összege legalább 40.
