var polignacs = (1..Inf -> by(2).lazy.grep {|n|
    RangeNum(n.ilog2, 0, -1).none {|k| n - (1<<k) -> is_prime }
})

with (50) {|n|
    say ("first #{n} de Polignac numbers:")
    polignacs.first(n).slices(10).each{|s| say("%5d"*s.len % s...) }
}

say ''; [1000, 10000].each{|n|
    say "#{n}th de Polignac number: #{polignacs.nth(n)}"
