A Prime number is a number that can only be divided equally by 1 and itself. 2 is the only even prime number. All other even numbers can be divided by 2, as well as 1 and themselves, and potentially many other numbers. So apart from 2, no other even number can be a prime number.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
