The odds and evens bit is what got me. I have an obsession with numbers. Certain numbers must be even and others odd.

Examples:

Evens: The radio and TV volumes must be even. (I hate that FM stations are odd.)

Odds: I count the letters of every sign I see and if they aren’t odd, I count the spaces. If the total is still not odd, I count a line or graphic to make it odd, or I’ll count only the lower case letters. It’s always possible to make it odd, just requires some serious imagination.
