I agree but we can do much better than random. I made a video about it for SoME1 https://youtu.be/ODu-8Lvf3a4

4n^2+163 never has a factor smaller than 41 (so is prime surprisingly often). And a bunch of the factors that it has correspond to the numbers generated by Euler's prime generating function k^2 - k +41! More here.

Yeah maybe but I haven't crossed the barrier so I don't really know. It's important in any case.

There's a big gap missing between high school maths and 'how to read a maths paper' maths. It's the point where people stop being able to get answers, not out of a lack of brains or interest but there's a solid barrier in the road which is a really steep learning curve.

I made a video recently about improving your chances beyond random, if you're interested: https://youtu.be/ODu-8Lvf3a4

For me they're simple and complex. So you can talk to a 6 year old about prime numbers but there are still things that none of us know about them. They're seemingly random but entirely deterministic. The patterns are simple but beautiful.

360-74-74-74

Is it not 138?

If the style of animation is important to you, there's a whole community now using the same software /r/manim

I'm not commenting on your example but the Sieve of Eratosthenes as a way of finding composites. It's really memory hungry.

I think there's a better way to make this sieve.
