This formula gives 75 primes in the interval [1,100] and 135 in the interval [1,200].

By comparison, the famous Euler formula (whose use was excluded by the application rules) gives 86 primes in the [1,100] interval and 156 primes in the [1,200] interval.

The winning bid starts with 29 prizes, while the Euler formula gives 40 prizes.
The winning bidder also indicated that the series generated by the formula = since 2001) can be found in OEIS under number A060844 (and for this reason, wishes to remain anonymous).

The announcer is pleased to note that on the one hand, many interesting other formulas have been encountered, and on the other hand, the formulas and reflections submitted have greatly contributed to the further development of the scheme.
