  1. He's looking for a way to detect primes, but actually.... He just found a few funny numbers. I guess the binary cyclops numbers can be skipped, so that'll save you 1 every power of 2... which is a quite small number 😅 but I suppose as they get larger, that's significant as anything to be able to skip 1.

  2. Ok, but what about cyclops numbers in other bases? And how would you write it in base 10? Seems hard to make smaller.
