Hi, I waas looking at the math sheet you just assigned us. I was wondering if you should count 0 as a even number. I don't think that 0 is a even number because all even numbers can be divided by 2, even 2 itself. But not 0. If you think that 0 is an even number fine with me, but thats not my opinion.

I understand your rationale, however, if one assumes that odd and even numbers alternate back and forth, then zero would be even. Check out this web page:
