[edit] overlapping

Wait...Why isn't 6 overlapped by 2 and 3, while numbers like 12, 30 and 24 are? Spencer^T♦C 03:16, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I want to do the same comment of Spencer. Overlapped 6 is better IMHO --82.56.93.24 (talk) 11:17, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

aw jeez who cares Bakalakadaka (talk) 05:41, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

it's somewhat distracting for me, the overlapping (or lack thereof) of 6 and 14, for example.. it should at least be consistent! 82.6.96.66 (talk) 12:34, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Look at the article: you can start the marking for a prime N at N², because any smaller composite number would already have been marked by a smaller prime. --Tardis (talk) 19:36, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I think it is confusing as it stands. While technically correct, I think it needs to be consistent for the purpose of illustration.But let's admit it, this is a grand anim. I wish all wikipedia was like this.-- hɑkeem_¡ʇu^ɐɹɯǝǝʞɐɥ 18:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad this is a featured pic - I saw this at the primes article and was going to nominate it. Great work. Tempshill (talk) 17:29, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
