    Can I point out an inherent flaw with this thread?
    Count to a million (in prime numbers)
    Is 1,000,000 a prime number? No so should it not be called:
    Count to 1,000,003 (in prime numbers) or perhaps
    Count to 999,983 (in prime numbers) or perhaps
    Count to the nearest prime number thats close to 1,000,000?

    the person who set it up originally wasn't even thinking whether 1 mill was a prime no.
    he set it up to go up against the other million thread.

    Admittedly the first post was slightly hasty, but the point has been raised before and I have mentioned in post #51 the actual goal is 1,000,003.

    I am trying to edit the original thread post to include the new goal.

    Basically it should be "Count to over a million (in prime numbers)!"
