That's a great read. I don't understand the prime number part though: > 3599 = (3600 – 1) = (602 – 12) = (60 – 1) (60 + 1) = 59 times 61. Not a prime number.

Where does the (602 - 12) come from? Can someone explain that to me?
Also, use a leading space to keep things out of your bash history.
- asimjalis 6y agoThat’s 60^2 - 1^2. The exponentiation was lost in the rendering I suspect.
- keithlfrost 6y agoThat should read as 60^2 - 1^2 -- the twos should be typeset as superscript.
