The statement 3+3=6 serves as a disproof to the conjecture that the sum of two odd numbers is an odd number.
Odd numbers are numbers which can NOT be divided evenly into groups of two.
6 can be divided by 2 (6:3=2), which means that the sum of two odd numbers is not an odd number.
On the other hand, there is a statement that is always true (a theorem) about the sum of two odd numbers: The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is divisible by 4.
