Why do primes make some problems fundamentally hard? To find out we need to explore primality tests in more detail.

### Primality test challenge

How can a machine tell us if a number is prime?

### What is computer memory?

What is the limit of computer memory?

### Algorithmic efficiency

How can we improve the speed of a (deterministic) primality test?

### Level 3: Challenge

Try and improve the efficiency (time complexity) of you algorithm A so that it beats algorithm B in the worst case

### Sieve of Eratosthenes

Sieve of Eratosthenes allows us to generate a list of primes.
