Dave Keenan asked for primes to be expressed in the miracle fourth
system; since this was an eminently reasonable querry I am
reproducing the results here. If A is 5/3, flat by one cent, and B is
4/3, sharp by 2 cents, then we have the following approximations:

2 = A^(-6) B^13
3 = A^(-12) B^25
5 = A^(-11) B^25
7 = A^14 B^(-18)
11 = A^3 B^3
