Every prime number greater than 3, when squared, is one greater than a multiple of 24. Take any prime number greater than 3, multiply it by itself, subtract 1, and you'll get a multiple of 24 every single time. Very strange.

7 is the only prime that's a cube minus one (2^3-1=7). The proof to this is pretty cool https://youtu.be/A00ibdM5icg
Optimus Prime will always be number 1 to me :,)

I know, right? It's weird, but true. It works for all prime numbers greater than 3. Every single one.
7 is a prime number
7 × 7 = 49
49 - 1 = 48
48 is indeed divisible by 24
