Why is this rare? Well, it’s like a game of trying to get these numbers to line up ''(see Figure 1d)'': | Why is this rare? Well, it’s like a game of trying to get these numbers to line up ''(see Figure 1d)'': | ||

If the distance between entries in the row for 2 are defined as 1 unit apart, then the distance between entries in the row for prime 3 are 1/log₂3 units apart, and 1/log₂5 units apart for the prime 5.
