Usually the even numbers are one side of the street and the odds on the other side.
No specific reason - and they don't always follow that pattern... There are many streets in the UK that have sequential numbers on one side, continuing on the other. This can happen when a row of houses is built next to private land.
So people will be able to mail stuff to your house.
Because the second number from an odd number is odd, and every other number is an odd number. In fact, if you add or subtract an even number with any number, the result keeps the same parity as the other number. So an odd number minus an even number is odd, while an even number minus and even number is even.
Yes. One has to be the square of an odd number. The other square has to the the square of the even number either before or after the odd number. If this is confusing just plug in real values. In either case, an odd times and odd is odd. Therefore one of the squares has to be odd. AN even times an even, however, is always even. Therefore, the second square has to be even. Thus, one of the squares is even and the other is odd. An even plus and odd is always odd.
As the house numbers are, odd numbers on one side, even numbers on the other side.
The houses on Pine Street and most other streets are numbered so that even numbered homes are on one side of the street while odd numbered homes are on the other. If Pine Street has homes numbered from 1 to 140, it is likely that they are divided by odd and even numbers.
Usually the even numbers are one side of the street and the odds on the other side.

That's a common way of numbering houses in England. In many parts of the USA and Canada numbering is different, it's done by blocks. I had cousins living in Vancouver at a four-figure address, but their street only contained 24 houses.
When speaking of compartments, on the portside they are even and on the starboard side they are odd.

I would presume the way they are numbered everywhere else. Most of them are consecutively numbered. Some are odd numbers on one side, even numbered on the other side. Some are not in strict numerical order at all. My address is 642, but the neighbor on my left is not 640, it is 636, Two houses down from that the address is 624. I don't know why, it just is. Check with the municipality where you live or are inquiring about to find out.
Odd. Even + Even = Even Odd + Odd = Even Odd + Even = Even + Odd = Odd
House numbers are often odds on one side of the street, evens on the other.
