I found something interesting that I have not proven, but it has not
failed yet:
The integer N is prime if:
2^N - 2
---------
N is an integer.
Don't ask how I found it, I was just fooling around. Now:
Is there some way to reverse the formula so we can insert and integer
and get a prime number out? Let me know, I am over excited.
