I would like to open a store selling prime numbers. Customers would of course have to have exact change.

Dang it. I should have persevered instead of assuming there was something wrong with my slide rule.

I read Free Republic for posts like this. Really. Unremitting politics makes a thin gruel.

I’m underwhelmed.

Just because this is a “statistical” anomaly, who’s to say there isn’t a black swan in the first billion prime numbers?

The second billion prime numbers will probably restore some statistical “order” to the “randomness.”

However, this discovery was unexpected! ;-)
