Let [n] = 1 if n is odd and 0 if n is even, for all positive integer n. if [n] * [n+8] = 0, then what is one possible value of n?

[n][n+8]=0

if either or both of
[n] and
[n+8] are 0, i.e. if one or both of
n and
n+8 are even. But both will be even if
n is even, and odd otherwise, so any even
n will be a solution, e.g.
n=2.
