Hi, at November 1, I saved a copy of Assignments Report. Today I downloaded the new Assignments Report and the Cleared Exponents Report. Stored the three files into a database.
Knowing the new prime exponent probably had been listed at Nov. 1 but isn't listed today ...... that's enough. Doing a query for inconsistency between the two Assignments Reports and another query for inconsistency between the first query result and the Cleared Exponents Report yields only a few possible entries > 3.500.000 digits (<10). I didn't look for more than 10.000.000 digits ;-) Checking these few possibilities (IPS account ID) against hrf5.txt for "Who" @GIMPS and searching GIMPS HomePage (Top Producers/expanded version/"Who" leaves only one entry matching the second condition (exponents tested = 3) :-) Of course, the new prime exponent may have been assigned after Nov., 1 ...... Yours, Dieter Schmitt _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
