What are odds?

-Opposites of evens. -odds can also mean the chances of something happening.


How do you score a netball game using odds and evens?

For the purpose of this exercise the team names are A and B. Start of Game TEAM A has won the toss and takes the first centre pass, pencil an E (evens) in the first box below their name on the score card. Team A will always have this pass during the first quarter when the Total of goals scored is an even number. TEAM B will be O (odds). Pencil the "O" in the box underneath their name on the scorecard. After the first goal, Team B has the next centre pass, e.g., score is 1 / 0 (1+0) = odds. Team B will always have this pass during the first quarter, when the Total of goals scored is an odd number. Example First Quarter Score 0-0 (evens) - first centre pass Team A 1-0 (odds) - next centre pass Team B 2-0 (evens) - next centre pass Team A etc. Re-Starting After ¼, ½ and ¾ Time There are two possibilities - if the score is say 10-8 1. If a goal was scored prior to the end of the quarter and the next centre pass had not been thrown - In this case the centre pass in the second half will remain the same, i.e. Team A on `evens' and Team B on `odds'. Example- score 10-8 = 18 First pass in next quarter is Team A. Team A remain `evens', Team B on `odds' or 2. The ball is in play when the whistle goes to end the quarter - In this case CHANGE the 'odds' and 'evens'. Team A will change to "odds". Team B to "evens" giving Team B the next Centre Pass. Pencil these changes in the square boxes below those you wrote in for the first quarter. Example- score 10-8. The ball was in play from Team A's Centre Pass (following the 18th goal), so in order to keep with alternative passes the odds and evens are changed thus giving Team B which is now on "evens" the first centre pass after the interval. Please Note- The International Rules of Netball states in rule 12.1.4 If at a Centre Pass the ball is still in the Centre's hands when the Umpire's whistle is blown to signal the end of a quarter or half and provided no infringement by that team has been penalised, that team will take the Centre Pass after the interval.


How do you use odd and even numbers in real life?

House numbers are often odds on one side of the street, evens on the other.


A positive integer is equal to the sum of the squares of its four smallest positive divisors What is the largest prime that divides this positive integer?

You know the smallest divisor is $1$. So there are $4$ possibilities: $1$ odds $3$ evens $2$ odds $2$ evens $3$ odds $1$ even $4$ odds $0$ evens $4$ odds $0$ evens: The sum of $4$ odd squares is always a multiple of $4$ (take them mod $4$) but since $2$ isn't one of the smallest divisors, this isn't possible. $3$ odds $1$ even: This isn't possible because the sum of $3$ odds and an even (take mod $4$) is always odd so an even number can't be a factor. $1$ odd $3$ evens: This isn't possible for the same reason as above. So there must be two odds and two evens. Obviously, the two smallest factors are $1$ and $2$. So the $4$ smallest factors are like this: $(1, 2, a, b)$ where $a$ is odd and $b$ is even. Because a is one of the smallest factors, $a$ must be an odd prime. The sum of two odds and two evens = $2$ (mod $4$), so $b$ must be $2$ times an odd number. Since it is the 4th smallest factor, it must be $2a$. So we now have this: $(1, 2, a, 2a)$ where $a$ is a prime. Adding together the squares, we have $5 + 5a^{2}$ or $5(a^{2} + 1)$ We now know that it is a factor of $5$. Therefore, it can't be a multiple of 3 because 2a would then be bigger than 5. (also, a^{2} can't equal $2$ (mod $3$)) So we know a equals $5$ and $2a = 10$. We have $(1,2,5,10)$. Adding together the squares, we get $130$, which has a largest prime factor of $13$.


Why do you get an even number when you add two odd numbers?

Answer 1) Because, odds with evens would be odd, so odds+odds=evens. Answer 2) Relating this to an example, if you want to add 5 + 7, you could take 1 off each of these odd numbers, making them even. Your equation will now be 4 + 6, but you also have to add 2 to you answer because of that's the amount you took off to make the numbers even. You equation will now be 4 + 6 + 2, which is 12. Sorry if this is confusing....
