Don't have an answer, but I'll note 2 findings given the hint: 1) 505 is the hypotenuse of a triangle with integer length sides. 2) Rot13-ing the Roman Numerals for the number 105 produces a trigonometric term. Maybe one of these is on the right path and will help someone.

In Roman numerals 505 is DV. If we use rot13 on these two characters, we get QI.

Is it possible that:

var num=505; isOdd(num); function isOdd(num) { return num % 2;}
I'm not downvoting you.

The rot13 translation of "one" is "bar". The only connection between "bar" and 505 that I could find is this very obscure definition given in urban dictionary (which was entry #4 and has more downvotes than upvotes), which says that it's slang for getting a drink at a bar with friends after work. Perhaps it's a really old outdated slang term, which is why your grandpa used it.

Don't have an answer, but I'll note 2 findings given the hint: 1) 505 is the hypotenuse of a triangle with integer length sides. 2) Rot13-ing the Roman Numerals for the number 105 produces a trigonometric term. Maybe one of these is on the right path and will help someone.
