I think he meant "El Padrón de los Números Primos". Patrón means "boss", not "pattern".


It's correct, "patrón" means both "boss" and "pattern" depending on context, but the word "jefe" is more widely used as "boss"


And of course, it turns out that the English "pattern" is derived from French, "patron", from the sense of "a model to be imitated".

It also means pattern. The source page also uses patrón. http://www.polprimos.com/


I stand corrected. Never heard it used like that, but the Royal Academy confirms it: http://lema.rae.es/drae/?val=patr%C3%B3n


Ah, good. The title is meant to be an homage to the original source of the idea.

My Spanish is somewhat rusty so I didn't know it also meant boss. :)


What you created is pretty boss.
