    What’s weird is that 17 feels like a small enough number where it seems like we should know intuitively what its multiples are. And it feels like by this point in our lives we should at least know all numbers up to 100 or so that are composite vs prime. But yeah it’s actually not that weird when you consider that the multiplication table usually stops at 12. And also that we really don’t get that much exercise in multiplication in daily life.
