What conclusion about life does Christopher extract from his thinking about prime numbers
Christopher explains that he has decided to give his chapters prime numbers instead of the usual 'cardinal numbers 1,2,3'. He then explains how you work out prime numbers, revealing that no one has ever worked out a formula for calculating them - it would even take a computer years to work out whether a really really big number is a prime number or not. 'Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away' Christopher says and concedes that 'they are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.'
