We don't need no stinkin' passwords. What we really want is Secret
Decoder Rings.

Naah. JSH has already crushed cryptography. I propose that we revert to
the secret meetings in person, where only those of us who are personally
acquainted get to enter. Next meeting at the usual place. Take the usual
precautions.

Not YOU, you nincompoops as you apparently actually know at least some
math.

And NONE of you fell for the trap.

I'm talking about the people who did.

prime gap equation = resolution of Twin Primes Conjecture

Math people would presumably make that connection but some VERY
obsessive posters, did not.

You keep saying this. You have the prime gap equation, so why not
resolve the conjecture?
