It's incredibly fascinating how very simple constructs like primes have such complexity to them. It's very easy for a 14 year old to formulate questions relating to primes that noone can answer.

what I find interesting is the amount of computing power that it takes to calculate.<p>Edit: As an after thought, there are recordings of million digit prime numbers: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.primegrid.com&#x2F;download&#x2F;SR5-180062.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.primegrid.com&#x2F;download&#x2F;SR5-180062.pdf</a>

Are there chains of Sophie Germain primes?<p>e.g.,<p><pre><code> p is prime 2p + 1 is prime 2(2p + 1) + 1 is prime...</code></pre>

this is a great example of the title change rule making a title worse<p>i think taglines&#x2F;subtitles&#x2F;subject sentences should be eligible for titles too
