Is that synesthesia TJ? I get it a bit, days have colours for me (Monday is green, Tuesday a kind of pink, Wednesday yellow, Thursday redish pink, Friday brown, Saturday a darker red and Sunday a darker yellow than Wednesday)
The interesting question is,does it just apply to numbers you know are prime, and therefore get a shape, or does it apply to any prime and if so can it be used to find primes? Eg, that number is a pentagon, that must be prime.
Like it only works for me if I know what day it is, April 23rd 1924 doesn't have a colour but tell me its a Wednesday and suddenly it does, useless for working out what day particular days were but if you dont need that intermediate step like I do then that would be a really useful skill to have.
Also, does say, 17 have a shape and does the equation x=24-7 have the same shape or do you need to work out x for it to get a shape?
Basically can TJ spot primes visually or is it just known primes which get ahapes?
e^i.pi = -1
I refuse to believe this.
Got to get 42 in there somewhere, ok but not in the sum. The odd thing is, what’s 0^0? 😜

n^0 = 1

I don't know if its really synesthesia. All numbers have shapes to me. Usually a square with an added triangle on top in differing shapes and proportions, but some are other polygons but the primes are pleasing shapes. I think its more to do with a visual imagination and I cannot predict primes from shapes. larger numbers the shapes are more blurred / less defined
