it was an ok teaser..the answer seemed slightly ambigous to me.
OK teaser - kind of easy-

Clever- that's a good one!
It's ok, but you can also have an even number (or 2) and three odds, like 2 + 2 + 15 + 1 +1. Good though
Good one! Haha, I thought it was something like 10.5+10.5, because since we don't use them often, they were 'odd'.
I mean, it's a trick teaser. It can be anything, after all.

actually, you did say two odd numbers...
Yeah, you did.
I never said you could ONLY use two odd numbers.
I used 8 + 13 ... two odd numbers are 1 and 3.
nice nice, it's like the one with the coins that said you have a certain amount of money, you have two coins, one of them isn't a *insert type of coin*
now i see hes right he said use 2 odd numbers (i.e. 3,3) he used AT LEAST 2 odd numbers that is what he meant
You could also use addition AND subtraction, etc.
10.46573 + 10.53427 = 21
They're both pretty odd numbers.
