What's so special about 223,092,870 anyway?How can some 1.4 trillion prime numbers (most of which are six bytes long) be stored in less than a terabyte - without resorting to standard compression techniques?And how does one find them in the first place?Is this Quantum Computing idea really worth the price, not to mention the difficulties of liquid helium?

Lots of fun, if you like numbers.
