2) There they are!
Please give your working out.
See above.
And more importantly the number of calculations you use.
No calculations were performed.
The winner gets to kiss my ass, when I present mine.
No thanks.
So you think you can calculate, without calculating?
You didn't say you wanted a calculation,

You can't read.

you said you wanted an algorithm.

Yes.

He provided one.

No.

(Perhaps you're a bit vague on the meaning of "algorithm"?)

I know it doesn't mean "list".

algorithm: A finite set


Congratulations on finding the fastest algorithm in the world for
calculating PI(x).

You didn't ask for "the fastest algorithm in the world for
calculating PI(x)", you asked for the "quickest algorithm to
find all primes below (N)". See the word "find"? Do you
suppose it might have a different meaning from "calculate"?

And BTW, where did you get the terminology "PI(x)" as
meaning "Primes below N"? I don't recognize it.

When do you publish?

All hail the new math-genius/boon-head.
