i see what you meant. yeah, i had my doubts that the answer would be such a looong number.

Hey alpha, are we allowed to get help from the net? or do this all ourselves?

[Neraphym]

Do this yourselves, and this is on the honor system. I can't say some people won't be disobeying this.

[Ratty]

Okies Same rule as with my riddle contests

Ill have to pass on this question.... I dont know how to make a program to figure out prime numbers and stuff

[Neraphym]

EDIT: I changed the 3rd question to include average value as well!

[Kaezion]

so only programmers can solve this?

[Ratty]

so only programmers can solve this?

Heh, if you know how to program, that would make solving this question alot easier

I HIGHLY doubt anyone will be bothered to go about writing out every single prime number between 1 and 10,000 by hand ( i sure as hell wont )

[Kaezion]

then this question seems more like a test of programming knowledge, not mathematical.

[Neraphym]

You don't have to be a programmer to get this right. I don't want anyone to try and program this (it was hard... my head still hurts. ), as I want to torture people and make them write out each one individually. Since that is a very daunting task, find a website that lists all the prime numbers and add them on a calculator from there.

I withdraw my previous statement about people not being able to look stuff up on the web. In most cases, that wouldn't even help anyway.

[Kaezion]

i've got the median of the prime numbers using an internet list:
4535.5

but i can't type 1228 prime numbers into my calculator and get the average, and neither can my calculator hold all that information.

[Neraphym]

Wow, there are really that many?!?!? I guess I can give you 2 of the 3 points unless someone posts the average, then they get all the points. Someone else can post it until monday night, as I'll have the average by that time.
