By listing the first six prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, we can see that the 6^th prime is 13.

What is the 10001^st prime number?

and this is my brute force solution:

Public Sub GetPrime()
    Dim iPrimeMax As Integer = 10001
    Dim iPrimeCounter As Integer = 0
    Dim iCurrentNum As Integer = 2
    While (iPrimeCounter < iPrimeMax)
        Dim bPrime As Boolean = True
        Dim iCounter As Integer = 1
        While (bPrime = True And iCounter < iCurrentNum)
            If (iCurrentNum Mod iCounter = 0 And iCounter <> 1) Then
                bPrime = False
            End If
            iCounter += 1
        End While
        If (bPrime = True) Then
            iPrimeCounter += 1
        End If
        iCurrentNum += 1
    End While
    Response.Write((iCurrentNum - 1).ToString())
End Sub
