John Carlos Baez on Nostr: npub1g7va9…5scf3 - 11, because it's prime. I'd be amazed if anyone said anything ...

npub1g7va94ywu9fjkh2y6sz90vcqwv00shpyfgy5ndy8ltq59sy6szpsl5scf3 (npub1g7v…scf3) - 11, because it's prime. I'd be amazed if anyone said anything else, except for the people who accidentally guess that 9 is prime. (There's a famous joke about that.)

The fact that the sequence starts out even and then stays odd - that's already a dead giveaway, since except for 'degenerate' cases like

1, 2, 4, 8, ....

it's fairly rare.
