Is it a Cyclops number? “Nobody” knows!
$begingroup$
Task:
Given an integer input, figure out whether or not it is a Cyclops Number.
What is a Cyclops number, you may ask? Well, it's a number whose binary representation only has one 0 in the center!
Test Cases:
Input | Output
--------------
1 | falsy
5 | truthy
12 | falsy
27 | truthy
85 | falsy
101 | falsy
119 | truthy
Input: An integer or equivalent types. (int, long, decimal, etc.)
Output:
- Truthy or falsy (e.g.
trueorfalse,0or1)..
Challenge Rules:
Input that is less than 0 is assumed to be falsy.
If the length of the binary representation of the number is even, then the number cannot be a Cyclops number.
General Rules:
This is code-golf, so the shortest answers in bytes wins!.
Default loopholes are forbidden.
Standard rules apply for your answer with default I/O rules.
This is my first Programming Puzzles & Code Golf challenge, so any feedback on how I should improve would be much appreciated!

You've essentially made two separate challenges, one a decision problem and one about outputting the next number of a sequence. This will not do what you want, which is invite more answers, but instead put off users who now need to consider three options about what to program before posting. I'd recommend removing the option, and in the future you can try posting to our sandbox first where hopefully you will get helpful feedback before posting. Good luck!

I'd also recommend removing the hard coding restriction. By default solutions would need to handle all cyclops numbers in theory, and there are clearly infinitely many of them, so they couldn't all be hardcoded.

If this is an answer to a challenge…
…Be sure to follow the challenge specification. However, please refrain from exploiting obvious loopholes. Answers abusing any of the standard loopholes are considered invalid. If you think a specification is unclear or underspecified, comment on the question instead.
…Try to optimize your score. For instance, answers to code-golf challenges should attempt to be as short as possible. You can always include a readable version of the code in addition to the competitive one.
Explanations of your answer make it more interesting to read and are very much encouraged.…Include a short header which indicates the language(s) of your code and its score, as defined by the challenge.
More generally…
…Please make sure to answer the question and provide sufficient detail.
…Avoid asking for help, clarification or responding to other answers (use comments instead).

You've essentially made two separate challenges, one a decision problem and one about outputting the next number of a sequence. This will not do what you want, which is invite more answers, but instead put off users who now need to consider three options about what to program before posting. I'd recommend removing the option, and in the future you can try posting to our sandbox first where hopefully you will get helpful feedback before posting. Good luck!

I'd also recommend removing the hard coding restriction. By default solutions would need to handle all cyclops numbers in theory, and there are clearly infinitely many of them, so they couldn't all be hardcoded.
