Anyone want to venture a guess at the first prime number above 1,000,000,000,000? I used my program shown in the C++ section to calculate it... you won't win anything if you get it, but I thought it might be fun. Please excuse my enthusiasm about this, but this is the first program I have written mostly on my own, but with some crucial help from people, that did anything even remotely useful and worked!
4  2321  Here is what the python code looks like.
Much more efficient than mine, LOL.... It took me somwhere between 5-10 minutes (i wasn't counting) to calculate that the first prime after 10^15... which is 1,000,000,000,000,037

So you ran it? I didn't try it. I bet it at a huge chunk of memory at 10^15...
I haven't run the python code, but my C++ did calculate it to that... I've since become slightly obsessed with prime numbers, LOL, joined GIMPS, been reading books on them.
