THE RIDDLE FROM THE FUTURE: Adapted from the Book “Card Magic and My Mathematical Discoveries”
Consider this highly classified dream loaded with prime number problems:
A young man had a dream. He found himself in a room with two of his principal tormentors in his world of dreams. In this dream, he sat on a chair holding a transparent plastic plate containing a kind of sticky colorless fluid and a small solid like the shape of the earth. All of a sudden, as he was shaking the transparent plastic plate that he was holding, a miniaturized human being like the height and size of his middle finger came out of the transparent plate. And this miniaturized being said to the young man “I came from the future, the number of the years is 1000th prime number minus 773rd prime number. I did not meet the elect in this particular year because Christ had taken them away”. The young man shouted “We are in the year 2012 that is 1000th prime number minus 993rd prime number minus a dozen and two years into the future”.
Can you unravel this particular year that the miniaturized man was referring to?
