Interestingly, very few people are getting any *wrong* answers to today's quizpost. It's all either correct answers or no answers. I guess this set doesn't have any "obvious, simple, and wrong" answers?

PS: Hint for Puzzle #1: the reason it requires "a prime greater than 3" *is* the number 3 itself. Take out a three, and suddenly "for all prime numbers greater than 2 (labelled 'p'), p²-1 is evenly divisible by 8".

It looks like more people have whiffed on Puzzle 2. I didn't explicitly state the answer in my solution, but I did give the how to do it that implicitly says how many.
