Ridiculous.
From the article: "By putting all the information obtained so far together, a practical formula for calculating prime numbers can be given".
I'll give you a 10,000% more practical formula:
from sympy import prime
def nth_prime(n): return prime(n)
It will probably give more insight into primes than the party joke in the article.
Is it just me, or is Scientific American not what it used to be?
