doesn't show proof that there are twice as many even numbers than odd.
o your saying that there are only two types of numbers; odd and even?
Doesn't that mean that there are in fact three types of numbers, as I stated; odd, even, and odd/even ( or in your system numbers that exist outside of normal reality, or "imaginative")
Just because you don't like what I stated doesn't mean that I'm not right. You don't have to answer that, but if you feel that you must refute my claim then focus on explaining away the existence of complex numbers in the two dimensional mathematics system your talking about when your also accepting the existence of complex numbers?

As to your last tid-bits:
Yes sadly sometimes a student will fail if the answer is not to the teachers liking, even if the answer is correct. Personal bias creeps into everything these days. Even College Professors will have a bit of personal bias if their grading.
I never stated that I was better at math then anyone else, but rather only asserted that there is more to mathematics then the typical two dimensional system of odd and even numbers allows for. Even you admit this fact about mathematics.
If I understand what Fermat's Last Theory is, the answer is no. If you take a cube and remove any of it, then you no longer have a cube.
In 1637 the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat wrote in his copy of the Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria (c. 250 CE), “It is impossible for a cube to be a sum of two cubes, a fourth power to be a sum of two fourth powers, or in general for any number that is a power greater than the second to be the sum of two like powers. I have discovered a truly remarkable proof [of this theorem], but this margin is too small to contain it.”
The English mathematician Andrew Wiles (who had been interested in the theorem since the age of 10) presented a proof of the Shimura-Taniyama-Weil conjecture in 1993. An error was found in this proof, however, but, with help from his former student Richard Taylor, Wiles finally devised a proof of Fermat’s last theorem, which was published in 1995 in the journal Annals of Mathematics. That centuries had passed without a proof had led many mathematicians to suspect that Fermat was mistaken in thinking he actually had a proof.
Never once (until now) did I use the idea of magic in any of my arguments here.
So someone had already solved it. This was why I looked at it as a philosophic statement rather than a mathematical one.
