And exclude 1; it's special (not-prime for good reasons, but also not composite; Prime vs. Non-Prime isn't as good a test. Plus, treatment of one is largely for definitional reasons and isn't intuitive to non-mathematicians. Fun game, though!

You'd have to exclude 1 if you were to do "prime" vs "composite" since 1 is neither of those.
