| Like Ivars, I am curious if there is a "Five Hysterical Girls Theorem,"

|
| I've just heard about a play called "The Five Hysterical Girls Theorem,"
| which is about a group of mathematicians gathered at a seaside resort in
| winter to discuss number theory. It played recently off Broadway in NYC
| ( http://www.nytheatre.com/nytheatre/5_girls.htm ). The title apparently
| refers to primes that consist entirely 3s and 4s, I believe. Have you
| heard of the term "hysterical girls" in the context of primes?
