Actually the issue is 1=1*1, 1=1*1*1 ... 1=1^n. If 1 is prime, then -1 must be prime since -1=1^n where n is odd and 1=1^n where any n is used. The fact that 1 can be factored from itself recursively is the issue.
Duh! I must not have had enough caffeine this morning. Above should say -1=-1^n where N is odd. -- =====================================Kaos=Keraunos=Kybernetos============== .+.^.+.| Sunder |Prying open my 3rd eye.
