This is actually really clever because there is no practical way to find this other than by writing a program to brute force it. It shows your proficiency
Yall are forgetting this happened in 2004, not recently. They couldnt look it up, if someone wanted to answer it, they wouldve first had to write a code that solves for finding a 10 digit prime number, then ran a search down e looking for that number on a computer from 2004. [1] cont...
The answer is 7,427,466,391 for those wondering. Remove the commas because iFunny black holes the comment. The site has been shut down for a while, now
This wouldn't be that difficult, would it? I'm thinking e as a string for length and better indexing, and simply check for primality 1-10, 2-11, etc. Anyone heard of this problem before?
Easy, set up a loop to verify whether a single digit is prime. Store it in a “10 slot” array. If the next 9 digits aren’t prime, reset the array and counter, continue down the line until you find it. Also have to take into account the potential size of the number and the limitations of code program.
I get it and all. But who invented this type of equations? Like what was the intention , or why couldn't it be put I simple language of what it is your asking?
I thought this was stupid easy, and was asking people at work how that would do it. No one could even figure a basic method, and over half the people didn't know what a prime number was.
So many ppl are forgetting that in 2004 googlei g it would not have led u to an answer goodle didnt have that spisific of a search patter yet. If im corect it was the programing needed to calculate the patter that led to ppl getting hierd to get the search results we can now. At this time searching
Now google will look at all of ur searches and if ur searching for high enough level programming related things it will ask u if u want to take the foobar challenge
