Proposition: Prop. 9.23: Sum of Odd Number of Odd Numbers is Odd

Euclid's Formulation

If any multitude whatsoever of odd numbers is added together, and the multitude of them is odd, then the whole will also be odd. * For let any multitude whatsoever of odd numbers, $AB$, $BC$, $CD$, lie together, and let the multitude of them be odd. * I say that the whole, $AD$, is also odd.
