   @BetoOnSecurity @horse I'm seriously bad at math but 1-7 games are not unheard of; I mean I feel as if lopsided 20-to-something matches have happened several times before even in officially recorded World Cups matches..?

     @BetoOnSecurity What level of competition are you considering?

     I wonder what the highest football score is where each team scored a prime number of points and their sum is also prime.

     @BetoOnSecurity In professional, the highest recorded score in which both teams score is prime and total score is also prime is... 3-2.

     All solutions of this problem will take the form of x-2 where x is the lower member in a pair of twin primes. Since there aren't many twin primes less than 100, it was pretty easy to brute force here: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_scores_find.cgi

     @BetoOnSecurity it was a great “I’ve had a few beers” problem

     @FerdiZ @BetoOnSecurity Hey Ferdi! Beto and I are both USians, so I automatically assumed we were talking about American football. That being said, there are two problems with your solution: 1 is not prime, and 1+7 is also not prime.

     Zero is fucking weird.

     @FerdiZ @BetoOnSecurity You are 100% correct! 17 and 19 are "twin primes": https://mathworld.wolfram.com/TwinPrimes.html

     @horse @BetoOnSecurity

     There must be some mathematic, alorithmic, whatevermajigic thing that one does to find whatever the whatever, but something plus two that becomes a prime number is what the problem is looking for right? Like maybe 17 and 2? But not 19 and 2 right because 21 is divisible by 3 and 7?

     Whatever this thread is making me hate math more. Have fun mathing and maybe you'll find more whatever math funamajig. I'm out. (For the night at least.)
