Monster Prime

Wearing my Numberphile hat, many people have drawn my attention to the recently uploaded Adam Spencer TED talk about Monster primes.

I just thought I'd use my blog to group reply...

I actually watched it on the day because I was lucky enough to be at the TED Active event earlier this year (as a guest of TED-Ed).

And I thought it was great - can't believe they took so long to "publish" it!



Great to see a fellow Aussie on the TED stage too!

Numberphile has also done plenty on the subject, including this.



And here is our whole prime number buffet.
