Regarding looking at primes in different bases, when I was in highschool
I observed an interesting fact about the last three digits of prime numbers
squared when printed in base 2.  At the time I thought I had stumbled upon
something profoundly significant.  Many years later I found an extremely
simple proof showing why the observation is true.

I leave it to your experimentation to find the observation.
