A script the maths faculty would kill to have on their intranet page, which they would also kill to have one of in real life:
Enter a number:
This is a tool for bored people, for example, during mocks, in 6th form free periods, after school waiting for a certain Major, killing time at break, having pointless illegal gambling sessions. etc. You could try to find a prime that is interesting. Which is very hard. But perhaps a phone number would be good. Anybody who has something like 400 billion years spare time could try to find out if Adam's Lynz are prime. But then again, they keep on changing, dammit.
It's quite slow, so don't enter a number with more than 6 digits
unless you have a fast machine (P][+). A 6 digit number takes about
6 seconds on my P200MMX.
(Update: That probably doesnt apply more. Oh the
Amusement.)
