<p><font face="serif">So I started grading the project this morning
and was shocked by something I found. Some codes failed for the
inputs of 9, 11, and 13. <br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">Here is why... if you do not consider 1 to be
prime then Goldbach's conjecture fails on this cases. There are
not three prime numbers that can be summed to produce them.
Only if you include 1 as a prime does Goldbach's weak conjecture
succeed.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">1 + 3 + 5 = 9</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">1 + 3 + 7 = 11<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">1 + 5 + 7 = 13</font></p>
<p><font face="serif">PLEASE CHECK YOUR WORK. Correctness counts a
lot in this exercise. If you need to fix your code, then please
mention that in the issue you created and re-push your code
ASAP. If your initial push and issue were created before the
due date I will not take off for the code being late. I plan
on starting the code grading process again on Saturday morning -
so please get this all fixed by then.</font></p>
