Obviously I don't completely understand the PS1B assignment. Can someone explain to me what exactly is the ratio they are looking for and why it slowly gets closer to 1 ?! I'll include the code I have so far. Pastebin link : http://pastebin.com/pjRqW0rn

The Pset explained the why:
"There is a cute result from number theory that states .... " 

you want to keep a running total/sum of the log of each prime that you find
so;

find all the primes less than 100
   ratio100 = the sum of the logs of each of those primes divided by 100

find all the primes less than 1000
   ratio1000 = the sum of the logs of each of those primes divided by 1000

ratio1000 should be closer to one than ratio100
