Abstract	Opening a copy of The Mathematical Intelligencer you may ask yourself uneasily, “What is this anyway—a mathematical journal, or what?” Or you may ask, “Where am I?” Or even “Who am I?” This sense of disorientation is at its most acute when you open to Colin Adams’s column. Relax. Breathe regularly. It’s mathematical, it’s a humor column, and it may even be harmless.
AbstractList	Adams takes to answer the confusion associated with subprime lending market, a financial instrument. He articulates that once a subprime has been discovered, it is patented, and its use is restricted to the patent holder. An individual or corporation that uses the subprime without permission is subject to litigation and severe financial penalties. Moreover, he explains that a subprime is a prime number that is a factor of a larger prime and is the building blocks of the prime numbers. Opening a copy of The Mathematical Intelligencer you may ask yourself uneasily, “What is this anyway—a mathematical journal, or what?” Or you may ask, “Where am I?” Or even “Who am I?” This sense of disorientation is at its most acute when you open to Colin Adams’s column. Relax. Breathe regularly. It’s mathematical, it’s a humor column, and it may even be harmless.
