Milo, read the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus as written
and don't phantasize about the methods Ahmes used,
study the methods he actually used. And, by the way,
the topic of this thread are the prime numbers and pi.
If you wish you can start a new thread on RMP 66; here
I won't discuss it anymore, nor another problem of the
RMP.

I am still wondering about this series. The value
of the series, approximated by the complementary
stairways, is 0.27854..., probably 0.278548...
Can this number play a role in prime theory?
I asked this question before. Now I see all odd
primes appear in the approximating stairways when
I write them in the above form, and so I will study
their arrangement - is their pattern of any meaning?
