2 is the exception to the rule that every Prime number is odd

Yes. Try dividing the number by every prime number up to its square root. If none of these divide the number evenly then it is a prime.
Infinite. All prime numbers are odd with the exception of 2. Prime numbers are only divisible by 1 and themselves. That's the rule. The only prime number that is even is 2 since all other even numbers are divisible by 2 also. Hence all prime numbers are odd with the exception of 2.
The rule for this sequence appears to be adding consecutive prime numbers. The sequence starts with 3, then adds the next prime number 2 to get 4. It then adds 3 (the next prime number) to 4 to get 7, then 5 to 7 to get 12, and so on. Each number in the sequence is the sum of the previous number and the next prime number in order.
I Dont know if this is for prime's or not but i can remember doing this thing. you add up the numbers of the digit ( 4+2+9=15) Then You see if 15 is a prime then you have the answer. ================================ 429 = 3*11*13. Hence, it is not a prime number. A comment on the first author's response: 37 is a prime number. The sum of 3 and 7 is 10. Ten is not a prime number. Hence the rule does not apply universally. The rule does not apply to 11, 13, ,17, or 19, all known prime numbers, either. I find the related link to be useful. ================================
