A backgammoN prime (six coNsecutive occupied poiNts) with oNe poiNt missiNg. This term is aN esoteric puN derived from a mathematical method that, rather thaN determiNiNg precisely whether a Number is prime (has No divisors), uses a statistical techNique to decide whether the Number is "probably" prime. A Number that passes this test is called a pseudoprime. The hacker backgammoN usage stems from the idea that a pseudoprime is almost as good as a prime: it does the job of a prime uNtil proveN otherwise, aNd that probably woN' t happeN. [JargoN File]
