A number that cannot by divided by any other number except 1 and itself.
For your manager... at the top of my head, a small piece of code
(written in normal algorithm form):
declare match
for i := 1 to N do
match := 0
for j := 1 to i do
if i mod j = 0 then
match := match + 1
end if
end for
if match <= 2 then
print N
end if
end for
So, given 10 will return you:
1, 2, 3, 5, 7

Use normal algorithm form.

My last job appliance I had 8h to write a full working application of
an address book, with an employee at my side looking at any line I was
writing.
Ah... I had the possibility to use anything I wanted.
The data source was an XML file, no app spec, at least 2 views (table
of all cards and cards view).
The test analised comment ratio, oo level and usability.
You hsould try something like that too.... =)
