Nope. Thats Phineas Fields.
Chester.
It took a while for Lucky Strike, his sponsor, to figure out that the sudden appearance of Chester Fields wasn't helping their sales...
To harness that kind of mental ability their girlfriends must have had mono for quite some time.
The evil of Congressional Democrats is infinite—and that is in our dimension!
The clock example is regular integer modulo 12.
So the prime numbers would be 2, 3, 5, 7, 11.
Now if you say 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 are primes on cycle after cycle of course there are infinitely many twin primes: (3,5) and (5,7) on every cycle.
But let’s see:
13 mod 12 = 1 (1 on the first cycle would not be a prime but it would be on the 2nd cycle and thereafter?)
17 mod 12 = 5
19 mod 12 = 7
23 mod 12 = 11
It would seem all primes (larger than 2) mod 12 would be odd numbers - I guess the problem is if one of them is a 9.
” The twin prime conjecture states that there are infinitely many twin primes, and that you’ll keep encountering them no matter how far down the number line you go. It also states that there are infinitely many twin primes, and that you’ll keep encountering them no matter how far down the number line you go.”
Now that is what I call a word prime. Do you know how many times I had to read that in order to convince myself that I was not seeing things?
Of course it can’t be a 9. 9 + 12x is always divisible by 3.
It can’t be a 3 either.
Thanks BenLurkin.

Do they use these mind games to stay sharp or is there an application?
