Exactly! and, the numbers in the fibonacci sequence alternate between even and odd.

Well, not quite.
The fibonacci sequence goes 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, etc.
there is only 1 even # for ever 2 odd #'s.
so odds are favored it would seem.
 
the fibonacci sequence sounds good, but its to much for what a ineed, i only need a 4 page paper, and i have to do an experiment, so i want to think of something easier, and creative.

Well, if you have you debate something, you can write about 2/5 of the paper on each one, and then 1/5 of it on your personal opinion.

Say things like where the evens are most prevelent, why it's so common for things to come in pairs, stuff like that. Then you can do similar arguements with odds.


The fun thing about writing essays is that you never actually have to decide what you think most of the time, you just have to present evidence that YOU understand what is going on, and allow for the reader to see both sides of the argument and assume their own position. After that, you can more or less randomly choose which one you want and just say something like "There is more evidence supporting this concept" blah blah blah.
