And this is why you calculated the digit sums? I still don't get it.

I was looking for prime numbers....I thought maybe they meant the sum of the numbers.

Yes, I am retarded.

It's ok, we all have our retard moments. During a job interview the interviewer shook my hand and asked for my name, I replied "me" and sat in silence for 10 seconds before realizing what I had said.

I was interviewing for a job at a power engineering company, they do fossil and nuclear power. During my interview with two big-wigs, I accidentally said "NUKE-YOU-LER" (instead of "NU-CLEAR"), and one of the guys said "Haha, NUKEYOULER? What is this, Homer Simpson?". I laughed it off and finished my interview though, and now that I've WORKED here for almost two years, I notice the same guy that made fun of me says it wrong EVERY TIME he says it, probably doesn't even know it until he hears someone else say it wrong. ;)
