Numberphile with Tadashi Tokieda on the Trinity Hall Prime, a prime number whose digits form a picture of the college's coat of arms, left as a gift by a departing mathematician.
Cited as the origin of the prime-number portrait trend and as an example of drawings made with primes.
“I love his video explaining how someone found a prime that looks like the Arms of Trinity Hall [1].”
