How Does the Squared Pattern Relate to Prime Numbers?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around identifying the next row and column in a numerical pattern inspired by BicycleTree's patterns. Participants clarify that both rows and columns can be expanded indefinitely. There is some confusion regarding the terminology, with a correction made from "columb" to "column." One participant notes that the second column appears to represent the differences between prime numbers, suggesting a potential connection to the solution. The consensus is that understanding the pattern may require a focus on prime numbers to find the next elements in the sequence.

Find the next row and columb


When you say next "row and column" you mean that there is a whole new row AND a whole new column added onto that? Or is there just another row?
 
And it's not columb,but Columbus...:-p I think you meant to fill in the last line.

It's "column".

Yes rows AND columns can be expanded indefinately.

yes it is column not columb but then the b is next to the n on the keyboard

Do the row and column go together? Or can I find the row and still not know what the next column is? Because there aren't an equal amount of rows and columns...
 
I have no clue for an answer. I note however the the second column is the differences between the primes.

2
-- 1
3
-- 2
5
-- 2
7
-- 4
11
-- 2
13
-- 4
17
-- 2
19
-- 4
23

This probably has no bearing on the solution.

.
you will find the solution only by using primes
