When a question states that a number is between a set of numbers, like 1 and 4 in this case, should one always assume that's it doesn't include the first and last number? i.e. 1 and 4? I got this one wrong because I assumed n could be 4, which isn't prime.

Justin, "between" does not include the border values.
