>Difference between the first 27 primes
what did he mean by this?

??>>14709734
I dunno but it's creeping me out

I figured it out. The differences between each prime and the previous one, all put straight one after the other. 3-2 = 1; 5-3 = 2; 7-5 = 2; 11-7 = 4...
the sum of all these differences is 100 (according to op, haven't bothered to check)

turns out he's wrong

primes:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103

differences:
1, 2, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 4, 6, 2, 6, 4, 2, 4, 6, 6, 2, 6, 4, 2, 6, 4, 6, 8, 4, 2

sum:
1 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 2 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 6 + 6 + 2 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 6 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 4 + 2 = 101

so it's 101, not 100, off by 1, not too bad OP, but have to work more on your arithmetic
