okay I'll admit it. I only had this thought from watching one paticular episode of Victorious (Brain Squeezers, s4 e10)
anyway, back to the point of THIS blog. my guess for the number that is BOTH Odd & Even, and I'll explain afterwards are: -2, -1, 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 7 and √2
I picked -1 and -2 for similar reasons as 1 and 2, because this whole number game seems like the positive and negative numbers parallel with 0
0 is also a weird number to me, and "ODD" can mean "odd numbers" or it could mean, "different to what is usual or expected; strange."
I picked
half because it can be written as decimal (0.5), fraction (1/2),
percentage (50%) etc...
and since 0.5 and 1/2 both mean the same thing AND they both end with an
odd/even number, it sticks out to me. (I guess so will -0.5, but
whatever.) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
and 7 or SEVEN, if you rearrange the letters in its name, you get EVENS
which YES is a bad joke, but so is the titular question, right?
it must be a bad joke, right? if not a bad joke, then a lateral
my last number is √2. idk much about the number. all I know is that Pythogoras went BALLISTIC over it and killed his student after bringing it up.

SCENE REINACTMENT TIME! ⏲️
Pythagoras dismisses his class and waves them off to enjoy the rest of the
day. all students leaves except for one: Hipposus.
Phythagoras: that's
correct
Hipposus: that was a
great lecture you gave today. also I did some light reading the other day on
the caravan ride over to school.
(Hipposus is not a local student, he
normally reads Pythagorus' parchments, but he saved up enough money to come see
one of his lectures. -it'll wash him away...)
I was doing some calculations on
the caravan over here, when I stumbled across a funny number... √2? can you go over my work
please? -I'm not shore if I went wrong somewhere?
(But the calculations weren't
wrong. and as Pythograsus' eyes scanned across the parchment at
the young man's immaculate calculations. an ugly thought of worry a-piered in
his head... a worry that grew into envy.
Eventually, Pythagoras handed back the parchment to Hipposus.)
(and so Pythagorus waved his student off. his face
growing stern when Hipposus was no longer in sight... later in the evening
Pythagorus kidnapped Hipposus with a sack over his head and drowned him at sea.
his reason? ♪√2 is a bad number, and the lord posidon warned him
to act upon it..♪
if he were a better/more humble teacher, he would have seen more booty
in the mathmatical world. 🪙🪙🪙 he would have been swimming in drakhma
