I think VQC recognised AA is about to unleash the solution.
That's why he became anonymous.
Alcoholism and fame do not go hand in hand.
Hopefully he can restart his recovery but I don't think he would want you to give up.
Perhaps as his recovery begins again, he will help anonymously.
It looks like the solution is focusing on how the patterns allow you to lookup two columns with n different by one for the d and d+1 cells you need for e,n and -f,n-1.
AA, the patterns you worked on are excellent. Outstanding.
I think it's important to ratchet up any help anons can give.
Your work in the patterns thread is excellent.
It's about figuring how to take that and create a lookup from the different types of input integers (c).
Once prime numbers are SIMPLE to spot, things should get a LOT easier.
There's already a polynomial time solution to identifying primes out there , if the grid can be used to speed that up, perhaps the penny might drop from that?
