post here if your post count is a prime number

1. But then you could never, ever post again

or your post wouldn't still be a prime number. :P

2. Unless you have only 1, 2, or 3 posts....

as soon as you post, your post count will no longer be prime.

3. not true

from wikipedia:

"In mathematics, a prime number (or a prime) is a natural number that has exactly two (distinct) natural number divisors, which are 1 and the prime number itself. There exists an infinitude of prime numbers, as demonstrated by Euclid, in about 300 B.C."

4. I meant the *next* number.

Sheesh.

5. i meant prime numbers

6. 7, 11, or 13....

You do run out of options quickly.

7. But if your number is currently prime, and you post once, it will no longer be prime.

It will at the very least be divisible by 2. If my current post was a prime number, 11 for example, and then I made this post, it would be 12, and therefore not prime. This holds true for any prime number, the number following it cannot be prime.

As for mine, this one, 841 is divisible by 29 (29 is its square root), so it's not prime.
