Good day!

I think  that answer is NO, but maybe..

Is there any ways to understand is private key of known public key odd or even? Maybe any mathematician operations with public keys may helps?

Thank you!

If you manage to guess any piece of information (parity , range ,bias,  divisibility by a number etc...) of a private key with his public key  (or a bunch of public keys), secp256k1 will  be broken and bitcoin too.

We are pretty sure (99.9999% but not 100%) that is impossible and the generated public key (EC point)  of a specific private key seems to be perfectly random an perfectly distributed.
