How to prove that all odd numbers are prime ?

Well, this problem has different solutions whether you are a:

Mathematician:
3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, and by induction we have that all the odd integers are prime.

Physicist:
3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is an experimental error...

Engineer:
3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is prime...

Chemist:
3 is prime, 5 is prime... hey, let's publish!

Modern physicist using renormalization:
3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 is ... 9/3 is prime, 11 is prime, 13 is prime, 15 is ... 15/3 is prime, 17 is prime, 19 is prime, 21 is ... 21/3 is prime...

Quantum Physicist:
All numbers are equally prime and non-prime until observed.

Professor:
3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, and the rest are left as an exercise for the student.

Confused Undergraduate:
Let p be any prime number larger than 2. Then p is not divisible by 2, so p is odd. QED

Measure nontheorist:
There are exactly as many odd numbers as primes (Euclid, Cantor), and exactly one even prime (namely 2), so there must be exactly one odd nonprime (namely 1).

What's an odd number?
