Yes I have an obsession working to understand the prime numbers, in the early days I wrote a program to list the opposite, the most divisible numbers and out popped all the non decimal units 1/24/60/360 etc…that make up many of the pre-metric measurements.

Am I right assuming all you tech people are gung-ho on hexadecimal and octal?
(Perennial slaves to short-hand chip-set addressing numbers?)
Just asking for a ternary.

Your missive about “bread” with “eggs” extant in your example could discombobulate a normal.
It is certainly true from 1611 in UK “egges” largely displaced loaves in the trope …
By 1855 fourteen confuses the trope …
Whilst “egges” appear in early descriptions the better understanding is breadish not eggish: with bakers making an extra loaf to ensure each customer got the same volume.
The THIRTEENTH LOAF was cut up to ensure each customer got an addition of a bread slice to their loaf to get the same volume of produce as everyone else.
