Why hasn't anyone found a formula for finding the nth prime,

The formula and proof was posted a week ago, retard.

I found it, will release data for $10 million

There are algorithms, they are just extremely slow.

Sure, you can brute force prime numbers, but you can't input something into your calculator to find the nth prime.

Calculators also use algorithms...

Heh, I am glad we have not found it yet OP.

Fucking brainlets who still think functions are not algorithms, when will they learn ?

You mean that horrible non-closed form formula that was literally ripped off from wolfram
Top fucking kek. That shit is basically a prime generating algorithm bullshitted into an expression via defining various functions.

Indeed, but here it is again:

You have a pretty weird calculator if there's an option to brute force prime numbers.

Let me rephrase, you can't find the nth prime without resorting to brute force.

There are formulas:

What else do you fucking want? It's still a formula just not an elegant one. What exactly do you want? A function that only uses basic arithmetic that's in terms of "n"? Can it have transcendental functions?
