The pattern is real, you just have to get into base-6 to see it clearly. Base-10 is just too messy because the primes that have 10 for their product are not consecutive. Base-30 would also be good, but a bit complex. After that, the bases become too complex for most to follow the patterns that result. My solution will stay up for another 18 months before I take it down. Number theory is fun, but I have other work in which to engage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1523608782014773920.post-15485277135019298512013-09-24T09:04:38.961-07:002013-09-24T09:04:38.961-07:00Hi
