Original Message First, big disclaimer, I'm not technically proficient in numbers any longer. it's been a long time for me to do math of any kind. But I noticed a post on here the other day that got me just to look at the problem for the first time for me. I know there are some serious math whizes on this site, so hope I can follow.

Honestly I don't know if some of the initial patterns in primes have already been talked about before, doing some research it's hard for me to understand the mathematical jargon.

In my the simplest basic layman's terms, which is the only thing I can use in my case, when I look at the spacing between primes, lots of 3's, 5's, 7's, 9's, 11's and 13's. This has got to be a pattern of some kind!

Now I've only looked at numbers up to 400, so I should probably do to at least 1,000. Maybe soon. But still another pattern that's coming up instantly is two prime numbers sandwiching a non-prime. Like 5 6 7. 5 and 7 of course being prime. And when you look at those double spaced primes, they occur with some regularity around the 10 count. like 239 240 241 for example.

And when it sandwiches a perfect ten, the spacing til the next one seems to very regularly be a multiple of 30.

And when the sandwich doesn't exactly land on the 10, it's always a step back (17 18 19) or one forward (41 42 43). When it's forward, their occurrences are also in multiples of 30 from the last, and when back, also in multiples of 30. Arrgh!

Still the trick is trying to figure out the precise pattern, which I can't. And then the troublesome lone single primes, which don't have a real discernable pattern thus far.

I can see now why no one's been able to predict thus far!

I hope what I've said can be discerned and hopefully someone can tell me if I've given any thing new or not to the puzzle.
