How do I solve this? NO guess and check.
bruteforce would be good here tbf
like going for the largest prime number < 173 then going through the smallest until 2 fit
I don't have that much knowledge in python
since they are consecutive, you can first set an upper bound on the largest prime found.
or an estimate of the largest prime found.
actually I'm not sure how well this holds, let me cross that out. sorry.
oh shoot i forgot
bruteforce meaning guess, what i would look around is tuples near 173/2
it is a Grothendieck prime I suppose. 
but you're rather close to the actual triple.
what's Grothendieck prime?
it's a kind of funny term to describe a number that is not a prime, but is 3 times a prime.
57 is the smallest amongst them for some reason. not too relevant here.
-# seems like an inside joke
isn't this like one of the millennia problems?
-# or something like this
nope I apperantly missread
