EXAMPLE
First term prime(2) = 3 is placed on 0th row.
If prime(n-1) = +1 mod 4 is on k-th row then we put prime(n) on (k-1)-st row.
If prime(n-1) = -1 mod 4 is on k-th row then we put prime(n) on (k+1)-st row.
This process makes an array of prime numbers:
0th row: 3, 7, 19, 43, ...
1st row: 5, 11, 17, 23, 31, 41, 47, 59, 67, 103, 127, ...
2nd row: 13, 29, 37, 53, 61, 71, 79, 101, 107, 113 ...
3rd row: 73, 83, 97, 109, ...
4th row: 89, ...
