Here is a strange one:
You look at integers in "packs" of 100. If a pack contains a prime number, you color it black, otherwise you color it red.
The first pack contains 100 consecutive integers. The second every second integer. The third every third integer and so on.
Every pack starts where the last one stopped.
On the first row, you draw 1 pack, on the second 2, on the third 3 and so on:

It looks like hieroglyphs from another universe.
I'm still not sure why it looks the way it looks.
If you want to compare it to a random distribution, you can change this line:
if (isPrime(myNum)) return 1;
To this:
if (Math.random()>0.99) return 1;
Very different. I wonder where the symmetry and all the other properties of the pattern come from when using primes.
