Surf City Semiprimes (Posted on 2011-09-27) Difficulty: 2 of 5

Let n be some arbitrarily huge number; call each prime between 1 and n a 'GIRL'; call each even semiprime between 1 and n a 'BOY'.

Prove that there are two GIRLs for every BOY.

(An even semiprime is a composite number one of whose two prime factors is 2.)
