There is no problem in java compiler on Codeforces. You used BigInteger.isProbablePrime(int certainty) method with certainty=1 which is not-deterministic and returns whether a prime number is prime with probability p ~= (1-1/2^certainty). So this behaviour is expected that sometimes it may give the non-prime number to be prime and some other times non-prime.

    Dang, 1/2 chance to fail on every case and he made it to 37? That's solid.

      Actually its guaranteed to be at least (1-1/2^certainty). In the general case, it is much more.
