Even and odd 2014-11-28
From Subrahmanya:
n1, n2, n3....................,n1997 are integers not necessarily distinct. (actually in n1, n2,.............., n1997 the numbers 1,2,.................,1997 are subscripts of 'n')

X= (-1)^n1+(-1)^n2+............+(-1)^n998

Y=(-1)^n999+(-1)^n1000+............+(-1)^n1997

Then

which of the following options is true

A) (-1)^X = 1, (-1)^Y = 1 B) (-1)^X = 1, (-1)^Y = -1
C) (-1)^X = -1, (-1)^Y = 1 D) (-1)^X = -1, (-1)^Y = -1
E) none of these

Consecutive Numbers Question 2013-08-11
From Lucy:
Hello,
I have a question about consecutive numbers. So lets say a question tells you to find what three consecutive numbers are that add up to a certain number. To calculate this, would you use 2x+1, 2x+3, 2x+5 or just x, x+2, x+4.
Also, the same question for even numbers. Would you use:
2x, 2x+2, 2x+4 or just x, x+2, x+4.
My math book is confusing because it uses the first strategy(the 2x+…) in some situations and the second strategy(x+…) in other situations. Thus, can you provide me an explanation of why you would use the strategy that is correct?
Specifically, my book answered this question: If “n” is the first of five consecutive odd numbers, what is their average, using n,n+2….=5n+20 and average is n+4(this is the answer),.
For the question: the sum of 4 consecutive odd integers must be:
Divisible by 8 but not necessarily 16(this is the answer), it used the strategy 2k+1, 2k+3…=8k+16.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.

Hello there, Problem: find 7 odd numbers who sum is equal to 30. Hint*My professor said it's possible to add 7 odd numbers and get 30 for an answer! and he said we can use Negative and rational numbers but no decimal or fractions. So is there anyway of solving this? Please get back to ASAP! thanks.

Is zero an even or odd number? 2000-02-06
From Christian Hansen:
On a list I run, someone posted that 02-02-2000 was the first date since 28-08-888 where all the digits were even. Of course, this provoked a discussion of whether zero was odd, or even, or neither. I remember reading that, for symmetry's sake, it is considered by mathematicians to be even. Any thoughts?
