How can pick odds or even be fair?

622 views

A even number plus a even number goes even and a odd number plus a odd number goes even too.

The only chance to get a odd number is a even and an odd.

How it cannot be 2/3 and 1/3 ?

Player 1 can pick Even or Odd. Player 2 can pick Even or Odd.

The options then are:

1E, 2E – > result is Even

1E, 2O -> Result is Odd

1O, 2E -> Result is Odd

1O, 2O -> Result is Even

Your error is in combining the two options, 1E, 2O and 1O, 2E into one concept of “one picks odd, the other picks even”.
