If we concatenate the exponents, : we get 3231, which is 3**2 * 359. Repeating, we get 21, which : is 3 * 7. One more repetition and we get 11, which is itself a : prime, as is 37. Isn't that amazing? : : ;-) Stop. The Illuminati "Law of 5's" is spreading. After all we have 2**3 (2+3 is 5), 3**2 (ditto) and 5**3 (three of the sacred 5's). The 7 is put in to confuse The Man[tm], but true afficionados know about the deception and how to deal with that.
