You know thats a good question. I have seen odd karma change to even when added many times, and you can not give just one karma, so hmmm.

EDIT: just tried again, I gave 1309 (my max) Karma, but only 1308 was added.

I'm not sure if it's only possible to give even numbers. This morning my karma ended with a 9. Someone gave me karma and now it ends in 0. That shouldn't be possible.

Someone mentioned that newbies can give just 1 Karma, while I know that I can not, so there appears to be some kind of tiered system... in other words, some ppl can give odd karma and some can not.

Just tried to give you karma to make a palindrome but alas I don't have enough.

When I started this thread, I had even karma - I took a screenshot - now I have odd. So it is possible to give odd karma.
