I have seen through the matrix. If you give me any number, I can intuit by eyeball whether the number is prime. I will explain my reasoning when possible.

Give me a number, and I will tell you if it is prime and how I intuited it.

Ok since you guys are no fun Ill reveal my secret. I have simply memorized the first 100 primes. 95% of responses will either be a small number that fits within that range (which I can remember) or it's an arbitrary series of numbers they just make on the spot usually 6-9 numbers long. If it's the latter I will simply ponder for a moment then say that it's not a prime and that it's divisible by 547 which the person has no way to verify. Statistically it's impossible that this approach doesn't work but if it doesn't then I simply skedadle.

Yes. This is one of the extremely rare primes that are divisible by two.

What do you mean "no way to verify"? What makes you think that?

What if someone uses a calculator
