Ask HN: Gaal Dornick counting primes in Foundation TV series
I haven't read foundation in decades. Did Gaal have this prime counting habit in the books too? I used to count primes many many years ago but I couldn't after a while. Then I'd simply add the digits of any number I see to check if its a prime. I was very disappointed that I couldn't keep up the recitation game with large primes. Watching the series, I wonder if I picked up the game from the foundation books. I honestly can't recall now. She goes up to 80 something million in the TV series! 0 comments on Hacker News.
