Same. I guess since 1 is itself it doesn't count?

By definition a prime number is greater than 1.

Were all of our math teachers awful? Because I always assumed 1 was a prime number too.

I somehow made the opposite mistake, forgot 2 counted and thought it was 37.

My Advanced Calc professor got the Final Jeopardy question right after a couple of seconds when I asked him for his opinion before class this evening, and when I told him that someone said 11, costing him the game, he told me that up until a couple of centuries ago, many mathematicians had considered 1 prime, but now they don't because some theorems in number theory don't work if it is. Glad I went through his number theory class a couple years before.

Why are Final Jeopardies of such varying difficulty. You go from a 200 dollar worthy prime numbers clue to that composers one.

Yeah that's pretty straightforward. There are probably only 10 composers (maximum) ever mentioned on Jeopardy; you just have to know what or when Baroque is.

Far more people have been exposed to them than information needed to get last night's Final Jeopardy. I've been studying non-stop for the show for three weeks and I have studied prime numbers exactly no times. I have studied composers probably a hundred. That information about prime numbers is long gone from my head. Grade school is a long time removed and I haven't worked with numbers in 20 years.

Groovelord Neato posted:(hell I probably haven't thought of them in two decades) I was talking in the general sense anyway (which I thought was obvious) - I never even considered studying if I got on the show. Prime numbers are something everyone learns (whether they remember or not is moot to my point though I would assume Jeopardy contestants or fans would have better recall than the norm), for the Composers you have to know Baroque composers, which ones are German, and which were born around the same time frame.

That question could've been "the two best-known Baroque composers (who aren't named Vivaldi, duh)." Jeopardy is never going to ask you to come up with Telemann or Schutz. For what it's worth, like someone said above, my grade-school textbook's definition of prime numbers didn't include "greater than 1."
