| Sep 2, 2021 at 14:17 | comment | added | Aman Kushwaha | Are you using "may not" for "can not ". Sorry English is not my first language but I think their meaning is different. While "p can not be prime" would mean "p can never be prime", infact, "p is not prime", your statement- "p may not be prime" asserts "p may or may not be prime", i.e. "p can be prime". | |

In that case the 'other person' would only know after the first hint that one of them is 0 years old, and has no clue about the other's age. Of course, given that after the second hint the 'other person' knows the ages, this possibility is then excluded. | |
