- The first question of Mrs Multravers lists several numbers starting from 1. The correct answer to the question implies that all these numbers, including 1, are prime. While in the modern mathematics it is accepted that 1 is neither prime nor composite, it was not uncommon to consider 1 prime at the time the story is set. In particular, the entry for Number published in 1890 in the 9th edition of Encyclopædia Britannica stated that every positive number was either prime or composite and explicitly listed 1 as prime.[1]
