1. Ν = {all natural numbers}
2. a ∈ Ν
3. (a+2) ∈ Ν
4. a mod 2 = 1
5. lim x→2 [(a+x) mod 2] = 1
6. |f(x)-L| = |(a+x)mod2 - 1| < ε
7. |(a+x)mod2 - 1| < ε
?. |x-2| < ε
?. ε = δ'
Okay, I admit it. I have no freaking idea what the reverse of mod2 is. I'm pretty sure that there is no reverse.
Let's try another definition.
1. N = {all natural numbers}
2. a ∈ N
3. m = 2a-1 <--- always-odd number
4. m mod 2 = 1
5. b = 2a+1 <-- Simplest definition of an always-odd number
6. b mod2 = 1 <--- Also definition of an odd number
7. c = 2a + 2 <--- Definition of an even number, divisible by two
8. c mod2 = 0 <--- c is divisible by 2
9. Therefore, {a|a mod 2 = 1 & (a+2) mod 2 ≠ 1} ∉ N

I'm not sure that I understand what you're trying to prove here.
I guess I'm just not maths-savvy enough... but I think they're trying to do the same as others did with Fermat's theorem, just let a computer do the work. That doesn't work, though, when you're working with infinities, since you only have a finite amount of time at your disposal.

Okay. So, to re-cap, we should have gotten here with 1 prime per post:
002 003 005 007 011 013 017 019 023 029
031 037 041 043 047 053 059 061 067 071

For a total of 82 primes, incuding this post. However, we also ended up with 431 and 433 -- 2 extra primes for a total of 84. As such, I feel obliged to round off with an even hundred primes:
--------------- 439 443 449 457 461 463
467 479 487 491 499 503 509 521 523 541

OK. I'll make an effort and bring us all to the next digit:

So, there shouldn't be much more left eh?
We should probably recap the side story line too:
One upon a time, Obsidian [...]

...and found a locked door.

... never broke stride...
...or sight, of...
...astonished to find... (hey, Tangent really was following eh?)
...a... (and I was lazy)
...a beer. (Leber, what happen to Tequila?)
... Obsidian, not a beer drinker per say, opted to ...
...drink it anyway.
Making her wonder if somewhere, out there, someone was talking about her...
... Indeed, she then realized some were definitely talking about her, given she had omitted 4 prime numbers. ...
...and she thought to herself...
..."are you thinking what I'm thinking?"...
and

As said, there is an infinite number of prime numbers. There is an infinity more of them left.

Nah. There's a finite number of posts in a thread and thus there's a finite number of primes we can post eh?
And, furthermore, there's a finite amount of attention this silly thread can get and thus we'll eventually hit the last prime, won't we?
I'm cleaver that way. Uh-hu.
Back to our sillier story...
...opening that locked door you're still facing...

WHY on EARTH would anybody EVER make a thread like this!?!!? This is absolutely rediculous! Couldn't you spend the 5 minutes it takes to put a prime number up here to do something more USEFUL!?!? Like calling a lonely person!?!? What kind of nerd are you guys!?!? Honestly. 1093
