Actually, now that the exponent for M38 is known, I can say
that I had narrowed it down to 5 candidates (7 before the
Oregonian article). They were:
5,750,881 6,382,513 6,836,327 6,972,593
7,143,163 7,213,391 7,310,981
These were the only exponents that were no longer being
worked on in one form or another, and was not listed on the
cleared exponents list, for that time frame...
I determined this from the statistics I've been tracking
for a while now. Part of which I've now posted to my website
at ( http://www.mcn.org/2/ehahn/netforce/ips-stats.html ).
I'll be posting more as I get them reformatted to look better...
Eric
