It is never true
\n" ); document.write( "An odd number is always:
\n" ); document.write( "even + 1
\n" ); document.write( "So 2 odd numbers are:
\n" ); document.write( "even + 1 + even + 1 = 2 x even + 2
\n" ); document.write( "which is obviously even
\n" ); document.write( "Now to an even number you add an odd, which is
\n" ); document.write( "even + 1
\n" ); document.write( "Now you have
\n" ); document.write( "even + even + 1 = even + 1
\n" ); document.write( "which is always odd \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
