Here are 0 to 15 in binary:
0 1 10 11 100 101 110 111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1111
I have shuffled and concatenated them to obtain this string:
11001011011011111101110011001110111010111010001101
Can you recover the order of each binary number in this string? No computers are allowed.

if sympy.isprime(num):
result = num
break
print(result)
I found that I struggle with reading code, and dev...
