Mistake

 * An integer is the sum of a sequence of consecutive integers it is not a power of $2$.

The property stated holds only for positive integers.

Otherwise, trivially, we would have:


 * $2 = -1 + 0 + 1 + 2$

What it ought to say is:
 * A positive integer is the sum of two or more consecutive (strictly) positive integers it is not a power of $2$.

This mistake has been partially corrected in.


 * A positive integer is the sum of two or more consecutive integers it is not a power of $2$.
