The bit I removed... Guy and Conway wrote: "Two is celebrated as the only even prime, which in some sense makes it the oddest prime of all." This is a joke, because of the incongruousness of applying the ordinary meaning of "odd" to an even number. This does not mean that the number 2 is ever actually referred to using the expression "the oddest prime". Of course JHC and RKG are as impeccable a source as you could have for a maths article, but I do not think this adds anything in an elementary exposition of the properties of 2.

"2" is the notable number of the second pool ball. Its color is blue.

@Radlrb: In this section you added the following paragraph - I have removed the reference clutter, and included the "efn" bits in the text, to attempt to make it readable. The problem is that despite being a native speaker of English and holder of a maths degree I can make no sense of it at all...
In decimal representation, after the first two, three, four and five digits in the approximation of the number 2 is the only digit greater than zero not yet represented (overall, up to the largest appearing digit). [Where also, operations of strings and are collectively satisfied.]
Is the "efn" supposed to be a qualifying clause on the end of the preceding sentence? I understand "after the first n digits", for some n, but your sentence baffles me. Can you explain? Imaginatorium (talk) 07:37, 14 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
