How about sending a packet back and forth to a server in another continent n times, and if it stops coming back, it was odd.

Better to use TCP, but I like your approach.

- Attempt to factor your integer n into primes...

- Once you have the complete prime factorization, check whether 2 is among its prime factors...

- If 2 is a factor, it’s even; if not, odd.

It's just 2 lines of code, therefore it's fast.

Also I only use the step over command in the debugger
