    New Test for Primes form 8n =/- 3

    As Dodo noted, my prior test excluded some primes of the form 8n +/- 3, e.g. 29. I discovered a new property of the recursive series used in the prior test to allow a correction that apparently includes all primes of the form 8n +/- 3 but apparently includes no composites. The property of the...
