::: That just confirms that the correct value is 104,729. The Rust code was wrong; the author forgot that enumerations are zero based in Rust, so one has to ask for item number 9,999 to get the 10,000th prime. I've corrected Rust.
::: It appears that Seed had a slightly different logic error: it iterated and discarded the primes until the 10,000th one, then printed the next one. I've fixed that, too.--[[User:GordonBGood|GordonBGood]] ([[User talk:GordonBGood|talk]]) 23:25, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
