Inefficiency Memes

The mathematical equivalent of building a Rube Goldberg machine to open a door. That formula is what happens when someone with too much caffeine and not enough peer review decides to reinvent number theory. Finding prime numbers is already computationally intensive, but this monstrosity? It's like trying to dig a hole with a spoon when you have a perfectly good shovel. The best part is that some mathematician probably spent weeks deriving this nightmare only to have colleagues respond with "or... you could just use the Sieve of Eratosthenes like a normal person." Pure mathematical masochism in equation form.
