Tofu Activists Spoof Meat-Based Indie Game 420

Faulkner39 writes "In response to the recently released independently developed platformer Super Meat Boy, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has released a Flash-based spoof game titled Super Tofu Boy. The spoof attempts to mirror the original by featuring a protagonist made of tofu and an antagonist made of meat in a statement promoting animal rights. Ironically, however, the original game is about a human boy who is vulnerable because he lacks skin (Meat Boy), raising the question: 'is the spoof in reality really about cannibalism?'" The Super Meat Boy team posted a response on their Twitter feed.

You're right in a way, that method doesn't give you a prime in general. No one suggested that it did though. The proof was a proof by contradiction, i.e assume notX and generate a contradiction. Based on the assumption that there is a largest prime the procedure works fine. P(i) does not divide P(1)...P(n)+1 for any i in 1..n and by the assumption these are the only primes. The whole body of the proof is showing that "There is a maximum prime P(n)" => "There is a prime > P(n)" giving the contradiction. Therefore there is no maximum prime P(n) and so there must be an infinite number of them.
