Grothendieck’s Prime tripped me up in a maths competition in high school. i had manually stored a list of primes in my calculator, and one of the puzzles involved primes and deducing the combination to a lock from certain clues. my list of primes erroneously included 57, which almost made my team fail the level, until i realized my error.
For me it’s Grothendieck’s prime.
Well, on the surface, it’s just 60-3, so clearly divisible by 3 itself. Now 221, that’s some fuckery.
Dammit, it was right in the post, why did that take me so long?
Plz don’t groth on my dieck, that’s just rude.
