What are the next three numbers in this sequence: 3, 5, 11, 13, 19, 29, 37, 53, 59, 61, 67, 83, 101, 107, 131, 139, 149, 163, 173, 179, 181 ?
I don't recommend this paper for your leisure reading list, but it does show that there is known connection between the sequence of primes with primitive root 2 (On-line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, Sequence A001122) and the shuffling of cards.
