Math is odd. 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19… and so forth. This is the start of the never ending sequence of prime numbers – those that are evenly divisible only by themselves and one. Centuries of mathematical effort have gone into determining a formula for identifying all the primes - to no avail. (Hmmm... perhaps those mathematicians missed that 'Prime' is a homonym?)

This year we celebrate the weird world of many quirky primes.
