Here is another interesting finding.
I have already found out that, if you mark remainder with %, the sum of x%a-(x-1)%a while 1<a<x subtracted with x-2 gives always 0 when x is a prime and negative number if it's not. I graphed it with an open source software called Graph. Then I multiplied it with -1 to get positive results and then divided the whole bunch with x/42 rounded up to the next integer.
The resulting graph was interesting, as the highest result I found was somewhere at 110 whereas most of the results seemed to go below f(x)=42. I wasn't able to find a clear cycle from this one either but there seems to be some regularity in it.
I include a screenshot and a graph file with this message. You can open the graph file only with Graph (beta only). Software can be downloaded from http://www.padowan.dk/graph/Beta.php
