Self-locating strings in the prime numbers
Today I had a sequence accepted at the On-line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences [A34259]. After watching this excellent Numberphile a few months ago, I thought to myself that I should look for such numbers in the sequence of primes. It took me a while to get to it, but Sunday I sat down and wrote a simple program to do so. I was pretty excited and shocked to see that no one had submitted this sequence yet. So, I submitted it Monday, and of course was immediately told that I had a bug in my program. After a nice back and forth with the editors, they published it today.
If you watch the video you see he also talks about loops. Interestingly, I haven’t found any in the string of primes less than a billion. I really don’t know what any of this means about prime numbers, or whether anyone does, but if you do please let me know.
