Ah no, I see, everyone ignore this while I go bury my head in the sand again.

I meant my program hanged if x=p because 2kp+1 is never
a multiple of p.

While in the process of reconstructing a sand castle,
I found a few stones I might like to bring here to show.
Is your head still in the sand or have you gotten off the beach?

[quote=R.D. Silverman;120320]You don't have to go back to school.

You DO have to get some books on elementary number theory
and READ them.

If you are not willing to do even the most basic learning that
is required to dabble in number theory, then why should anyone
else help you?

IMO, people in this newsgroup who show that they want to be
WILLFULLY ignorant should be banned by the moderators.

And your attitude SUCKS. You want everything handed to you.
