Pointless Factoid XV

Prime numbers are never found adjacent to one another (depending on your position regarding the number two). For instance, 3 and 5 are prime, as is 7 but not 6, 11 and 13 but not 12. It's believed that this pattern continues on to infinity, but this has not been mathematically proven.

Typo caught by a clever girl.

Hi Leper Colony,

Up there you said "as is 7 but not 5"

Ummm... does this need a bit of an adjustment?

Perhaps 7 and 5 but not 6?

Or am I not reading that right?

Indeed it should be. Corrected above, with credit
