Guys, you are talking about brute force approach.
I mean these scripts are okay, but google could give us a different task to sum REALLY BIG primes?
How about summing 2^1001+1, 2^31+1?
Who thought about that?

Without math or a brilliant idea, its just a practice of typing code in your favorite programming language, isn't it?

I think about math approach because number of primes in each sum is usually also prime. That could be a google hint to us...
