    This one makes me smile.

    Zero is an even number. All whole numbers and positive and negative integers are either ODD or EVEN.

    Just remeber the number line if you have any doubts.

    ... -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 ...

    Go back to the rules on odd and even. (3rd grade I think)

    O= odd and E= even

    E + E = E
    O + O = E
    O + E = O

    -2 + 2 = 0
    -1 + 1 = 0
    -1 + 2 = 1

    I hope this settles this.

    • True, but what if it's past 3rd grade, and complex analysis/imaginary numbers result in a zero? Theory will self-distruct

    • uhm... that person's previous comment was dumb, zero is even.

    • Thanks for providing a proof rather than just saying odd or even. Complex analysis in grade3?

    • Logical and simple, how efficient. BTW Connie Woodman, he said it was even.

    • Everything is great except the part where you said: 0 + E = 0
      0 + E = whatever E is.

    • That line reads O+E as in Odd + Even not Zero + E
