Boop! It's been a long time since blogging but now I have some time to do so! A year (plus) spent doing a mathematics program and a job in Japan will keep one occupied for a time. Must keep up the nerdiness and spew random facts about design and/or mathematics.
Nothing special today, but I'm going to write this small puzzle here for myself to remember. I thought of this on a train here in Japan and I'm pretty sure it's a common puzzle somewhere in the world of mathematics but...
The Number Two
2.
It's an even number.
It's a rational number.
But I say, 2 can be odd.
Without performing any function upon 2 (such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division), how can this be?
end.
Silly puzzle, but short and sweet.
