The sum of three odd numbers will be odd, whether they are prime or not. The sum of three prime numbers can be even as long as one of them is 2.
Because the sum of two odd numbers is always even and the sum of that even number plus another odd number is always odd.
The sum of two odd numbers is always even.
The sum of two odd numbers is always even.
Yes, all you have to do is to count the number of ODD numbers in the list. If it is odd, then the sum will be odd; if even, so will the sum. Knowing this can help you run a quick validity check when you sum up a list of numbers. (The method works because: a) the sum of two even numbers is even, and b) the sum pf two odd numbers is even, but c) the sum of an even number and an odd number is odd. Hence, if you only determine whether there are any unpaired odd numbers, you know the answer.)
