      If you find any counter example please let us know.

      Pretty sure some people would find it interesting.

        Let me try: to narrow down a bit, we take a subset of uneven numbers. We know that almost all prime numbers are even so lets pick prime numbers at random and see what happens:

        5+7=12 (even)

        3+11=14 (even)

        13+9=22 (even)

        2+2=4 (even)

        I’m out of ideas but maybe someone can take this approach and land somewhere.

        Species 8472 has three legs. Three is an odd number. Four would be an odd number of legs for a member of Species 8472 to have. Three plus four is seven, which is odd (2x3+1). Two odd numbers can therefore add to an odd number.
