Re: prime number siteswaps

That would immediately rule out 3 and 9 ball patterns, since for the
siteswap to be valid, the sum of the digits must be a multiple of that

divisible by that number.



Well yea, except for 3, which is prime and a valid siteswap...

The low ones are easy, 2, 3, 5, 7, (hmm... does 11 count as a siteswap?
It's pushing it a bit as the one
ball pattern, but written as b it works. Still, writing it as b is kinda
cheating), 13, 17, 19, 31, 37, 53, 59,
71, 73, 79 and 97 all work before it gets tricky to spot them...
