Just as an aside, we don't allow 1 to be a prime number because we would lose unique factorisation of integers into primes. For example:

6 = 2 * 3 Unique

6 = 2 * 3 * 1 = 2 * 3 * 1 * 1 = ...

Why do I find humor in this?

I don't know Tongue Maths is fun! I've always said so Wink

Cool stuff about the binomial! I think I remember working out a similar proof when I was bored at college, many years ago. I can't remember if it was exactly the same.

Heh. I love listening (reading in this case) to smart people talk about smart stuff. Math, techy stuff, physics, you name it. If there was a room full of people having this conversation, I'd probably be sitting in a corner watching intensely and almost excitedly. Carry on.

You're very kind.  IMO, you are an intelligent poster of this forum and there are probably many topics that you know about which would cause me to be in awe of you. 

With that said, IMO, at best, I have gained an appreciation for mathematics and think it is cool; however, I've got a lot to learn and there are many concepts beyond me, which I will need to master and cultivate before I can be worthy of any sort of merit or whateverSmile. Thanks and Live long and prosper.

I find it humorous because I misread it as "we don't allow 1 to be prime minister".

So used to Rob's deadpan jokes I thought he was making some kind of math...s pun.
