This is such a STUPID, STUPID word problem. Who writes these? I hope my children never encounter such ridiculous supposed math problems.\r

document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Anyway, being a multiple of 2 rules out the possibility of it being a prime number, so “I am not a prime number” doesn’t make any sense.
\n" );
document.write( "Multiples of 2 that’re BETWEEN 98 and 112 (not between 112 and 98): 100, 102, 104, 106, 108, and 110.
\n" );
document.write( "Not a square rules out 100, and 8 not being one of its factors rules out 104. 
\n" );
document.write( "This leaves the numbers BETWEEN 98 and 112 as: 102, 106, 108, and 11 ------ The MEDIAN of these numbers is NOT A multiple of 2. 
\n" );
document.write( "Really now!! \n" );
