Prime Number 11: The Anti-Prime

Actually, 11 is not a prime number. It's just a regular old composite number like 4, 6, or 8. Don't @ me.

But in the spirit of being a prime number, we're going to pretend it's prime and have some fun with it:

• 11 is the number of fingers on a cat's paw
• 11 is the number of hours I spent arguing with my math teacher in 7th grade about this very topic
• 11 is the number of people attending my birthday party in 2011 (just go with it)

So, there you have it. 11 may not be prime, but it's still pretty cool.
