Is zero even or odd?

[Alfred Z. Newmane]

Chuckle...slipped your mind that 0/0 is NOT a number, I suppose.

What in the sam-hell are you on? Thats what I've /BEEN/ saying, ya
trollimous maximus;

I've been saying it's undefined.

Then there was the trifle of your ambiguous apple question or should I
say troll.

I never asked the apple question, that was someone else. No wonder
you're so mixed up, you can't even put a statement with the correct
name!

Zero is even.

1. It is divisible by two without a remainder.
2. It occurs between two odd integers.

Exactly. And if I may expand on that:

Remember that:
even + even = even (eg: 2 + 4 = 6)
and
odd + even = odd (eg: 2 + 3 = 5)
and
odd + odd = even (eg: 3 + 5 = 8)


Consider:
0 + 2 = 2
- Even result, so zero must be Even; e+e=e rule.
But:
0 + 1 = 1
- Odd result, so 0 cannot be odd.
- Follows the e+o=o rule, again showing 0 must be Even.

What's that? Guess (on the basis that they're both GTM): Kelley's
General Topology or Halmos's Measure Theory.
