0 plainglazed Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 convert the letters to there numerical equivalent - a=1, b=2, c=3, etc. so 1,2,2,4,2,4,2,4,6,2,6,4,2,4,6,6. these numbers represent the difference between the first 17 prime numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Faizaan Posted November 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Solved by plainglazed. convert the letters to there numerical equivalent - a=1, b=2, c=3, etc. so 1,2,2,4,2,4,2,4,6,2,6,4,2,4,6,6. these numbers represent the difference between the first 17 prime numbers The letters once converted to their placement values in the alphabet, they represent the prime gaps (difference between two consecutive prime numbers). This series was simply the for first 17 primes (which is also a prime... I am SO clever ) for contributing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
