Wow, what a monster result! Sure beats my measly 25 digit calculation!

How much calculating time did that take?

Can you post the program so that I can show it to some of the computer teachers at my school?

Clearly, you and I think alike, and our methods of solution are similar (as demonstrated by our 25 and 500 digit calculations of my prime generating constant), but philosophically, we do tend to disagree. (Not that that's "bad"). For instance, do you expect that someone will ever find a "non-trivial zero" of the Riemann zeta function with a "real part" other than (1/2)? I don't. In the same way, I really don't see any reason why my formula should "break down", and if it does, then it is I who will be really, I mean really "wonderstruck" because that would mean that numbers with shared properties behave somewhat less "cohesively" than they should.

Thanks for all your great input so far.

Don.
