Description Ulam Spiral Puzzle
It is now well known that boredom is indispensable for creative processes. Without boredom, there is no creativity. Since I am not bored, this text is not particularly creative either. Stanislaw Marcin Ulam, however, was extremely bored - and that happened to be during a mathematics lecture (ha, what a masterpiece). While he was trying to banish the lecturer's voice from his ear canal as best as he could, he began to scribble sequences of numbers on the paper in front of him. He started with a '1' in the middle and continued in a spiral form. Then he circled all the prime numbers and realized: Eureka, it forms a pattern, because all the prime numbers are on diagonal lines!
Since this discovery, as mentioned, belongs to Mr. Ulam, it is appropriately called the Ulam Spiral.
If you are ever really bored and don't know what to do with yourself, you should grab the Ulam Spiral Puzzle and feel a bit like the Polish mathematician as you assemble the 1008 pieces. Who knows, maybe while puzzling, you'll come up with great ideas that could change the world :) If that's the case, let us know :)
Oh yes, if you are looking for a beautiful picture template for your wall, we recommend the matching Prime Time Poster :)
