That was really great unix-fu. I used it solve the 4th puzzle, thanks.

One suggestion though - I don't think you need to download all the fifty million prime numbers. I used your code to download just the first zip file, and it worked. My maximum number in the conditionals was 707.

IMO downloading 50 million prime numbers is just wasting computer power :)

Anyway, thanks once again!
