Anyone know what the formula
p = 6n +- 1 is? +- is the little sign thingy. ![[Image: sig.php]](http://josh.whtiger.net/images/sig.php) Back by popular demand! I will byte and nibble you bit by bit until nothing remains but crumbs.

you can't use that symbol in most compilers. you're just going to have to make two variables, because it represents 2 answers, like in the quadratic equation (most of the time).
p = 6n + 1 p2 = 6n - 1

okay, now you lost me. it's just a math symbol that means "plus or minus"

it's for nothing. that formula is just like any other equation.

while that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard that primes fall under the equation 6n±1, why did you want to know that then?
