No, you don't need the source. You probably have Alien installed already. At a shell prompt, type Alien --help. It will tell you all you need to know, it a few short sentences.

It would seem to imply that there must be an equal number of even and odd numbers. If you can add one to any number, and create another number, then there has to be an equal number of each, in every direction. However, there is one, and only one even prime number. The number 2, the third number in the Fibonacci series, which is an odd number. Aha - conspiracy! If the only Even Prime is even, then there are more even numbers than odd! They tried to cover it by making it the third Fibonacci number! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Search - Find what youre looking for faster http://search.yahoo.com
