I have doubts about what is an "outcome". Since they say it is two odd numbers my first thought was that x and y are both odd, but they could also mean the sum is a two digit number, both who's digits are odd. I dunno :twisted: That seems to be roy's reading of it. PKE now seems to go along with the first.
