So you can exercise your nerdular nerdence: some of you may have seen the billboard on Mass Ave that reads:

{first 10-digit prime found in consecutive digits of e}.com

Have fun. Once you solve that, there’s a second puzzle before you get the prize. Here’s the first million digits of e, to speed you on your way.
