    I don’t think that actually helps, because it’s all vibes. 51 looks prime, because of no reason at all, and absolutely nothing looks like it should be divisible by 17, again, because raisins.

    Knowing why it’s true doesn’t make it look right.

      But I can wrap my head around that 51 is divisible by seventeen because of 21 and seven plus something that deals with the remaining 30 somewhere.

      I know that’s not how it works, but as you say it fixes my vibes when I see the 21 hiding inside the 51.

      I’ll say this: the other thing that makes this one a hard pill to swallow is that 17 looks way too big, and my vibes fix doesn’t address that, but hey.
