1 isn't a prime...
Admin
1 isn't a prime number. 2 would be prime, however.
Admin
1 is not prime.
Admin
Except that 1 isn't prime...
Admin
Nice try, but 1 isn't prime, no matter how many zeros you put in front of it.

Admin
Wrong, one is not a prime number.
Admin
1 is not a prime number, genius. Prime numbers are defined as integers -greater than one- that are divisible only by 1 and themselves. 0000000000000002 would be a better answer. Or 1136591040000001.
Admin
Except 2 is not an unique prime. Try 0000000000000003.
Admin
1 isn't prime!
Admin
Uhm.... 1 isn't prime... try 0000000000000002, perchance?
Admin
WRONG!
One is not a prime number, two is the smallest prime number. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Prime_number#Primality_of_one

I cannot believe that so many people, even so far after the initial article was posted, think themselves so uniquely intelligent amongst humanity that they ABSOLUTELY MUST point out that the "0000000000000001" comment is wrong.
You are all the sort of people who, today, would read A Modest Proposal and think Jonathon Swift a cannibal. Please, for the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, figure out what irony is.
I am appalled to call myself a programmer and a TDWTF reader after seeing just how many people are so arrogant as to comment about that. Jesus.
Admin
Except, of course, 1 is not a prime number...
Admin
0000000000000001 is not a prime. I have a feeling it would be accepted anyway.
Admin
Um... one is not prime.
Admin
Problem - 1 isn't prime
Admin
People like you are why we should use bijective number systems...
Admin
1 isn't a prime number, but 0000000000000002 would work.
Admin
I should have read ALL comments first.

Re: Which Internet? 2008-07-18 13:05 • by Nick 16 digit prime number?
Leading zeros count as digits right?
0000000000000001
Done!
Well, that would work, if 1 were prime... But it's not.
Admin
Clever. Except that 1 is not a prime number.
Admin
lol 1 isn't a prime number...2 would work though
Admin
But is 1 a prime?
