I had it as five numbers freespirit, counting one as a prime number.

And it isn't the devil Kate. Try again!

sorry im gonna be a complete arse - but i found this on this web site


Note that the definition of a prime number doesn't allow 1 to be a prime number: 1 only has one factor, namely 1. Prime numbers have exactly two factors, not "at most two" or anything like that. When a number has more than two factors it is called a composite number.

i feel silly for doing that - i spoil all the fun

No a polygon is any multi-sided shape. There is a name for a shape with 13 sides.
