Hi:
I've been writing a small macro that could definitely prove the Riemann
hypothesis, but I need a simple function that inexplicably has not been included
in the include file "math.inc."
Is there not a function of primality (N)? It may return true or false according
to the entered value and we don't have to wait until May first to publish the
results.
Think of it this day only, thanks.

If this is a joke, it's a relatively odd one.

The real issue is that povray does not store/deal with int, but only
floating point. Such function would be subject to rounding errors...
And if the primality was easy to know past the range of 64 bits long
integer (any implementation should use a static array of the know primes
to check for match, no point in using a dynamic approach), a lot of
cryptographic systems would be in trouble, IIRC.

On 28th December is in Spain the feast of the Holy Innocents, which corresponds
to the April fools' day in several countries.
odd joke? May be explained if we consider that I was born in a prime day, in a
prime month, in a prime year. (That certainly doesn't mean anything).
Regards.

LOL! I suspected something was happening when you wrote about the
Riemann hypothesis...
["and you know something is happening but you don't know what it is, do
you, Mister Jones?"] ;-)

coming spontaneously to my mind from a long, long time remembrance, but
still pretty close to original :-)

And this joke was posted in one of the Internet communities least likely
to be taken in by it. (Of course, any community that understands what
the Riemann hypothesis is will not easily be taken in. I hope.)
