Wait, what?!?!? I got Eddie Krueger shirt colors? I swear I made it up. I was going to put orange and black, and then I got an image of red and green. I have never seen one of those movies. Maybe I saw a trailer or something. Bwahahaha!!! But now I do have to go look up why 1 is not considered the lowest prime number.
Oh, forget I mentioned it: https://mathwithbaddrawings.com/2019/09/25/why-isnt-1-a-prime-number/
