Question 2
Phong and Khang are discussing an old book.
Phong: “I added all the numbers used to number the pages and got 2024.”
Khang: “That is impossible. Have you made a mistake?”
Phong: “I forgot to say that the book is numbered only from page 3 to the last page, and the numbers on two consecutive pages have faded, so I did not add those two numbers.”
What is the sum of the two faded page numbers?
