Why not just test all even numbers greater than 2? It covers infinite numbers and passes 100% of the time.

It's important to test edge cases.

We'll grab those in integration and E2E tests.. let's just stick with even numbers such that 2 < n < 1002... that's 1000 cases, more than enough, and 100% test coverage

Wouldn't that be 499 cases?
