>> It's an interesting heuristic, but I think your limitation that it be less than the square of the Nth prime is a case of overfitting.
Maybe, but the result is obviously guaranteed to not be a multiple of any of the N primes. Since the smallest factor has to be greater than N, that means prime for up to N^2 (or (N+1)^2 I suppose).
