Since I'm bored at the moment and have reached a mental block in my attempted creation of the Zeux council, I'll post here with some random chatbait. My brother needed some help with his math homework. Something along the lines of "Name the first 15 prime numbers." So he asks me about it, and I reply, "Um, 1,2,3,5,7,9,..13,...17,..........27. Right?" There was no way I was going to get to fifteen numbers without trying every number until you got to that amount, which is exactly what my mom did. Myself, I decided to open up a development environment and make a program to do it. After all, numbers are a computer's job, not mine. Sadly, by the time I got it bug-free, mom had already found the answers. After checking her answers, I left the program running, telling it to find all the prime numbers from one to whatever the maximum value is for an integer. Today, it's only at 25%. |
