Are the achievements all based on prime numbers?

First - Disclaimer: I have not looked through the list because I'm certain there are a handful of people who are knowledgeable enough in this area to save me the time of doing so.

Referring to the ones that are get/do/whatever X number of things (not spending emblems and the like), I recall seeing a lot of primes. I suspect it's meaningless and fringes on unintentional as simply another way to be unique as a game. Or is there a LOST-like conspiracy underlying it all?

Air it out.

  • Yes. They are. (If I understand correctly.)

  • I wouldn't be surprised if its one of those fun things the devs purposefully did. Juxtaposition of things and the like to make the game quirky.

  • I just thought the crazy numbers were for silliness, especially all the 11s...as in Spinal Tap, "This one goes to 11!" :)

  • So uhh...how does one explain this beta.glitch.com/achievement...

    There appear to be several others as well.

    Doh! Bug?!?!

  • Ah no! Haha, I knew somebody would find one...

    Oh well.

    Wait, with all of the prime numbers and quirks, that is kind of disappointing. How...normal.

  • I agree - this is an OUTRAGE! Mr. President...exercise your veto powers and file a bug.

  • I did a quick check and found 11 other achievements not based on primes. Majority of the achievements however seem to be indeed based on prime numbers.

    And whoa! the achievements now have icons (or badges) to represent them...

  • Wow, those badges are neato looking! Now I want my old Girl Scout sash in-game.
