Did somebody stumble upon this by accident, or did they deliberately look for a prime number and play with the layout until they saw a picture?
Either way, this is really cool.
- mkl 9y agoThey made/got the picture, converted it to a number (by interpreting it as binary), then incremented the number until they found the next prime. The incrementing is what made the "noise" in the bottom right.
