I find it funny that people think there's a 100% accurate formula. What I said last night is true - a Cray Super computer can't even do it with 100% accuracy because the formulas change. The number of primes are infinite but the larger you get the fewer they get. Thats why I suggest using the 1-100 primes as your staring point. Square root is also a super starting point. I love Math but I'm just too dumb to understand it <g>

Well, you could just start listing prime numbers.
It's sorta like writing I've been a bad boy on the blackboard about 500 times after school. :-)
