Cool story brah.
The joke clearly went over your 90+ marks head.
I'll have you know that I do not have a Prime Cat.
I only have one of my fluffy little friend here.
Oh this topic is back, this was a fun one.
To be honest, every single explanation of this that I've tried to read only managed to confuse me further. You know, like looking up a definition of a word in the dictionary only to find the definition itself uses 5 more words you don't understand, repeat ad nauseam.If you want to understand why 1 isn't considered a prime number, you can easily look into it.
Guess that pretty much explains why I ended up hating math starting from around high school even though prior to that it was my favorite school subject.
All in all, it sure would have helped me out if my teachers had mentioned the whole "number greater than 1" clause when defining a prime number, rather than only stating "number divisible by itself and 1" which I think is how a lot of quick&dirty/introductory explanations of prime numbers go, and is what leaves people to think 1 is a prime. There probably have been many people in this very game who got screwed by this mechanic because they legitimately thought 1 was a prime due to being given an incomplete (or just old, apparently) definition of primes.
