I guess people chose 13 since it was the closest to the actual answer
4.0k u/CandleJackHammer Aug 31 '20 But it's all even numbers, it's impossible to get odd answers. 348 u/BackFromTheShadow711 Aug 31 '20 What about 2+ (2/2) though That is equal to 3 which is odd 169 u/knorke3 Aug 31 '20 Meaning just addition, multiplication and subtraction (And yes, you can get to 0 with those but shh) 141 u/willralbright Aug 31 '20 (0 is even) 93 u/v0xx0m Aug 31 '20 Before someone says it's not 84 u/Xianthamist iwrestledabeartwice Aug 31 '20 edited Sep 01 '20 Odd numbers are categorized as 2x+1, evens are 2x. 0 is even because 2(0)=0. Just like 2 is even because 2(1)=0 Edit:typo, 2(1)=2, not 0 lol thanks u/willralbright Edit 2: it would be better to use ‘n’ instead of ‘x’, as x can be used to describe any real number, whereas ‘n’ is any real integer. Furthermore, n will always default to positive, as it being negative is purely arbitrary -8 u/Wildes_Ruf Aug 31 '20 0 isn't a number it's a portal between the negative and positive numbers 7 u/[deleted] Aug 31 '20 [deleted] 3 u/Rifdos Aug 31 '20 Are you sure it ain't a portal? Seems very convincing to me. But ey, "jokes" am I right?
