:Maybe say start|end of prime group is <= limit? It is pretty easy to cover either case. [[User:Craigd|CraigD]] ([[User talk:Craigd|talk]])
:: My first point raised is that '''97''' is a sexy prime (with a limit of '''100'''). Most people's attention was directed to the query about whether that '''97''' should/shouldn't be listed as a sexy prime <u>pair</u>. My first query was that if the (a) limit was '''100''', programs could easily be checked and verified that they worked (or not) regarding whether or not '''97''' would be listed or counted as a sexy prime (or failing that, whether it would be listed or counted as an unsexy prime). With a limit over '''1,000,000''', it would be harder to verify (witness that one computer program already has an incorrect count for the number of unsexy primes, but hasn't be questioned or flagged.) Listing the sexy primes under '''100''' would've been a simpler way. But, as it turns out, everybody's program's output has to be changed to handle the new limits. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:16, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
