That is just what I was taught. "One is prime, but not odd." I don't get it either, and in fact it seems wrong; maybe my math teacher got it wrong way back when in 5th grade?
I also thought that even numbers were any numbers that ended in 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0 (excluding "0" itself), but from the way you said it, Forge, it sounds like it has to be an even integer. So numbers like 4.8372 would be odd, but I was taught they were even because they ended in an even (in this case "2").
So, now who wants to debate on the (ir)rationality of pi?

Too legit to quit.
