Bug Report: Construct 7 mechanic is wrong

[RicaRuin]

"A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number greater than 1 that is not a product of two smaller natural numbers."

Mind the greater than 1 part.

Maybe it's just the skill name that's a little weird, but that doesn't make it a bug at all. (In German, it's working as intended bc it literally tells you to go for a Prime Number.)

Going by what's usually touted as a prime number (divisible only by itself and 1), I feel like it should be; that or the commonly touted "rule" should be revised.
.

1 isn't a prime number because its not considered to be a number at all. its considered to be "The Quantifier" or "The unit" around which all numbers or "integers" are based.

It's the same rule that means 1 is not a triangular number or a square number or any other type of number. Because 1 is "the unit".

Without 1 for example. 2, 3, 7, a million. All become unquantifiable.

Oh my god, forty-twelve is not a number. This is the caliber of people thinking 1 is not indivisible.

Guys, they outed themselves as a troll right here.

Math's boring. Can we go back arguing if November is Fall or Winter?

Go pet your cat and snark me because you lost the debate.

Guess we can add math to the list of things your mind just can't comprehend

With Endwalker we're gonna argue about how the Earth is flat probably, so a little patience on the way lol

[Godzillaxpowerrangers]

Was going to say the note before the boss list prime numbers and 1 is not on it.

[Awha]

Ahh, FFXIV forums how somethings just never change.

[TaleraRistain]

Not a bug. Part of the definition of prime numbers that gets left out is that they need to be greater than 1. So 1 itself is not a prime number. When prime numbers were conceived, it wasn't really considered a number, since it's a building block of other numbers.

[Fland]

So according to OP, November is not fall and 1 is a prime number. Those are physics and math.
I wonder if OP's next threads will be something related to chemistry and biology.

Looking forward to your next alt science thread, OP!
