    Default Odds or Evens?

    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.)

    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.

    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.

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

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

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

    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.

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

    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.
