Answer 3

1. If any is EVEN, the product will be even (e.g. 2 x anything is even). So all must be odd.
2. When they pass each other, they are the same distance from Station A and also from Station B.

Answer 4

1. two different odd integers needed for the product to be odd eg 1 X 3. (Philosophically, you would need only one odd integer and multiply it by itself to have an odd product eg 1 X 1)
