If you average two odd integers, the average is also an integer. average(7,5) = 6.0
If you average two even integers, the average is also an integer. average(8,6) = 7.0
If you average an odd and an even integer, the average always has a decimal of .5 average(6,3) = 4.5 50% of all integer pairs come in this category.

Isn’t the even odd, or is it odd that the odds are even?
Fixed, thanks.
The odds are pretty even that you are half right. 😉
Oh, don’t be a moron, Steve. Do you really think that the max/min temperatures are only measured to a precision of 1 whole degree? It’s obvious that the internal precision is higher, and it’s rounded for display purposes.
Chuntering about this stuff just makes you look like a stupid obsessive who doesn’t understand basic arithmetic and rounding.
You must be using the new maths where average(-1,-1) = 0
Do you have any actual physical evidence, or are you just hoping that everyone will take your faith-based testimony on face value?
