<p>One version of the November tests had a math question that pivoted on wheather zero is an even or an odd number. If neither I believe the answer was 20. But if even the answer was 25. HELP PLEASE!</p>

<p>Zero is even.</p>

<p>haha, this was the only one that left me a bit confused. i think they might throw it out. i put 20 for fun.</p>

<p>Zero is even. If you add an even number (2) to an odd number (3) you get an odd number (5). If you add an even number (2) to an even number (4) you get an even number (6). 0 + 2 = 2 (even number)</p>

<p>Here is how you should determine whether a number is odd or even:</p>

<ul>
<li>Odd numbers have jagged edges and evil shapes -- like 7 (claw), 1 (spike)</li>
</ul>

<p>-Even numbers are round and pleasing -- 8 and 0 -->The most even of them all!</p>

<p>Zero is even. The answer is 25. I thought about that for a while too, and decided to go for 25...glad I did. phew</p>

<p>I find 4 pretty prickly too. Non sequitur.</p>
