COMMENTS
The first 2 X 2 prime square of a set of ordered 2 X 2 prime squares begins with 2. Just a 2 X 2 prime square is any 4 consecutive primes arranged in a square formation.
FORMULA
A 2 X 2 ordered prime square is 4 consecutive primes arranged in a square of the form p(4n-3) p(4n-2) p(4n-1) p(4n) where n=1, 2, ... and sides are as follows s1 = p(4n-3) p(4n-2) s2 = p(4n-1) p(4n) s3 = p(4n-3) p(4n-1) s4 = p(4n-2) p(4n).
EXAMPLE
The 4th prime square is
41 43
47 53
s1 = 41+43 = 84
s2 = 47+53 = 100
s3 = 41+47 = 88
s4 = 43+53 = 96
sum = 368
So 368 is the 4th term.
PROG
