I suspect that the question sounds confusing because it conflates different counterfactual worlds. Where exactly does the world presented to you by Omega diverge from the actual world, at what point does the intervention take place? If Omega only changes the calculator display, you should say “even”. If it fixes an error in the calculator’s inner workings, you should say “odd”.
Calculator is stochastic, Omega doesn’t touch any calculator, it assists you with determining what gets written on the counterfactual test sheet (not by counterfactual you, but by Omega personally, counterfactual you is ignored). The worlds diverge at a point where the calculator happens to display different answers to the same question.
