Did you know 1239098123098123 is prime? Neither did I, but when I went to show Mike a math program I've been playing with, I showed him how quickly the is_prime() function works, which unsurprisingly tells you whether or not a number is prime. I completely randomly typed 1239098123098123, and it returned "True". I also guessed 1231231 was prime a couple weeks ago. Do I have some kind of inherit prime-guessing skill?

If you do it a few more times, I bet you could go on Oprah as the “Amazing Prime Knowing Boy” or something. It’s a true talent, don’t let it go to waste.

Actually, you have 13 kinds of inherent prime guessing skills.

probably, but you’re also a math geek so it seems to go hand in hand.
