What to do with 16 digit twin, non-Mersenne primes? - Page 2

/sigh/ Some people won't recognize a blast from the past even if it was in their face.

On another thought, it would appear that Ernst was not cheating. He wouldn't make up one and the same story twice, would he? ;-)

Ha! nice, reading on it.
I wasn't here at that time, but as a good Romanian, I am interested in all related to "how to maximize someone else credit card", eventually "without being arrested", hehe.

But now back to the hard work on my own upcoming NT manuscript, "On the distribution of even palindromic primes." It's gonna be a model of both profundity and succinctness.

I'm not sure if this tool will check for various prime incarnations...but it might be helpful. :)

I wonder if it is programmed to answer "Yes" always, or only when connected to the intenet?

This is kinda along the same lines as the redundancy of someone asking you "have you heard about [whatever it is they have in mind]?". Well yes, obviously I have, now.

Or "Can I ask you a question?" Uh, I think you just did.

(Aside: For reasons I cannot fathom, this self-evident response tends to lead to negative emotional responses when used on a date. Well, at least with women it does - since I don't date dudes I can't opine on whether it's a gender-linked thing.)

In the above example, clicking "check it!" presumably triggers a reply to the effect of "It has now. Thanks for playing!", yes? Very handy app, that!
