Solution to Krypton 467

 

Yesterday's clue: First, second number divisible by 2 is an odd number (5)

Solution:   SEVEN = S + EVEN

S = First  of  "S"econd

even = number divisible by 2

Seven is an odd number

 Chokkalingam's explanation (see the spreadsheet of submitted answers)  for why "PRIME" should be the answer for this puzzle is interesting points out an inside joke among number theorists.   I initially wrote the clue as First, second number divisible by 2 is a prime number (5) but decided against it not to make it sound too mathematical.
