Is it fair to interpret "Triangle A has sides whose lengths are consecutive integers"
as meaning that two or more sides can have consecutive integers?
IE: 3,4,5 and 3,6,7 would both be valid.

Because the problem just says "sides," I would take this to mean all three sides. Thus, you have options like: (1/2/3), (2/3/4), (3/4/5), (4/5/6) ...
It would have to say "has two sides that are consecutive integers" to mean otherwise.
