But I'm not sure that the words odd and even are commonly used for this number! Been turning this round in my mind for an hour or so! A number that is neither odd nor even...? Is it a musical number rather than a numerical one?
It's not Take 5 is it?"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

And the other clues?
hexadecimal (also base 16, or hex) is a positional numeral system with a radix, or base, of 16. It uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols 0–9 to represent values zero to nine, and A, B, C, D, E, F (or alternatively a–f) to represent values ten to fifteen.Last edited by Quarky; 20-01-13, 20:26.Comment
