Oct 9, 2020 at 21:43 comment added user6690 and question with * : what is the limit when N -> inf = number_of _Ns_where(number of even > number of odd)/number_of _Ns_where(number of even <= number of odd) is it 1? ...574983 15362 15466 104 0.861205
Oct 9, 2020 at 17:44 comment added user6690 I have checked many Ns, I have hypothesis : any difference between odd and even is possible for some N, how it can be proved?
Oct 9, 2020 at 17:35 comment added user6690 I would say , the most interesting number for me is difference between odd and even :number which is "free" from order of group, for small N it has some connections with quadratic class number ,later they diverge...
Oct 9, 2020 at 17:20 comment added user6690 thank you, but it is trivial case - odd == even. N = 35, no solution.
Oct 9, 2020 at 17:18 comment added Richard Stanley @user6690 The equation $2^j\equiv -1$ (mod 35) does not have a solution, so $n=35$ is not a counterexample.
Oct 9, 2020 at 17:05 comment added Richard Stanley If the equation $2^j\equiv -1$ (mod $n$) has a solution, then $k=\frac 12 \mathrm{ord}_n(2)$, where $\mathrm{ord}_n(2)$ denotes the order of 2 modulo $n$. This is because the powers of 2 come in pairs $c,n-c$.

Oct 9, 2020 at 12:52 comment added user6690 if $N$ is prime, factorization of $N-1$ is not “slow” problem.Then just check division 2 ** factors - 1 by $N$
Oct 9, 2020 at 6:45 comment added Gerry Myerson I think even if $N$ is prime you need to know the order of $2$ modulo $N$, and there's no known fast way to compute that.
