1 isn't considered a prime number so three can't ve constructed from just primes

Yes, but keep in mind:

I can't read

4 then - if 1 isn't a prime, then 1+4 doesn't count.

EDIT - should have been 1+3, doh!

Jesus, I forgot 2 was a prime, what a dolt.

Yeah, typo. But I was wrong anyway! :-)

1+4=5 not 4 and 4 isn't prime either, so idk what you meant. 4 is the sum of two primes 2+2, which I thought was what you were asking at first.

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I screwed up twice here. Forgot 2 was a prime somehow.

1+4 was just a typo, meant 1+3.

I am disappointed in Lemmings' collective lack of Savvy regarding math trivia.

Next thing you'll be telling me you don't know how to prove there's an infinite number of prime twins.
