Odds or Evens?

[Shorty]

Do you prefer odd or even numbers?

I prefer odds. 1, 3, 5, 7, 9. I dunno why, I just prefer them much more to evens. When I set the volume on my car stereo or tv, I always have to put it on an odd number or a multiple of ten. If it's not on an odd number, I will sit there and twitch until it gets changed. (I guess I could have mentioned this in the recent OCD thread.)

[Laddy]

I can't choose. Fav numbers are 1, 2, 6, 7, 8. This is too hard. :(

proof that Shorty is crazy:

Given: Shorty loves odd numbers and multiples of 10.
Given: Shorty twitches at even numbers.
All multiples of 10 are multiples of 2, and are even numbers by definition of even number.
Therefore Shorty loves a subset of the even numbers.
However, if Shorty twitches at even numbers, then Shorty would twitch at a subset of even numbers.
Therefore, Shorty twitches at something she loves.
Therefore Shorty is crazy.
Q.E.D.

I like perfect numbers a lot. I also love perfect squares. Another favorite of mine are numbers such that the sum of all the digits is a multiple of 10. 64 is a marvelous number.

I know that tens are even numbers. :( They are the exception!

The correct term is special case. ;)

Also you are assuming crazy is a bad thing.

Wanna hear something else? I prefer symmetry in most all things, but I dislike the number two. But I associate it with symmetry because of the two "sides" of whatever that need to be symmetrical. So I'm torn. :(

10, 20, 30, etc are all okay because they are multiples of 5 jesus christ qwerty get with the oc disorder program

yes. they are a subset of multiples of two as well, and the definition of an even number is that it is a multiple of 2.

[Jiro]

I, too, can only listen to volume at an even number or multiple of 5. The number 4 is the best number, however.

[Freya]

I love even numbers. 8 Is my favorite number and even that has the same even sides.

the oc disorder

Don't call it that.

Individually, I prefer odd numbers. 13 is a much more pleasant number than 12 or 14. But I do like the even numbers when they're listed out. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. It's a good scale. Using multiples of 5 or better yet 10 for settings and such is a given, though. When I'm at an item store in an FF game, for example, I like to even out the numbers of items I hold by buying or selling as needed.

[noxious.sunshine]

I'm an even number person totally.

Oddly enough, so is my sister. haha.

Your proof contains the superfluous statement "Shorty loves odd numbers" and is thus inelegant.

[Psychotic]

I was born on an even day in an even month on an odd year. Therefore I like odds half as much as I do evens.

I was born on a day with 4 9's in it, so odd.

[Pike]

The best numbers are the ones that end in zero. Also fives are super elegant.

See:

500
15000
500000

God those are some gorgeous numbers right there

[Slothy]

My OCD tendencies about symmetry extend to numbers as well. Odd numbers bother me. Prime numbers make my skin crawl.

[Madame Adequate]

I don't like numbers that end in anything except a 0 but 5s are okay as well. If I see a number I try to consolidate it down with this weird and frankly nonsensical thing I have in my brain. Say I see the number 5246 someplace. I'll go "5 x 2 = 10 and 4 + 6 = 10 so this number is okay" because both 'sides' can be reduced to the same number, and the fact both are 10 is a bonus.

[Mirage]

Odd? Even? Smurfing plebs.

Give me 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 ... any day of the week. Multiples of 5 and 10 are however sometimes acceptable substitutes.

[Madame Adequate]

So evens then.

[Mirage]

Not all evens, and not because they're even. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.

[Quindiana Jones]

I like combinations of 2s and 7s. 27 is a magical number in very many ways, and 1972 is a very attractive number.

[Shauna]

Multiples of 5s and 10s for things are the best. If I can't have that, then any even number.

[Tigmafuzz]

When I set the volume on my car stereo or tv, I always have to put it on an even number

I do this too :(

27 is absolutely my favorite number ever.

[Denmark]

pls. the best numbers are the perfect numbers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_number). and the smallest perfect number is 6, which just so happens to be my favorite number.

[Tigmafuzz]

pls. the best numbers are the perfect numbers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_number).

u wot? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superperfect_number) 65536 is far superior to plain old 6.
