These days you get an assignment say 21.1xx.xxx and it will give you
approximately 0.057 P90/y.
Team_prime_rib has a calculator for the exact value you will get for any
number you TrialFactor and what you get if you really find a factor.
Visit www.teamprimerib.com to get the p90.exe program.
Which remind me, to avoid the cheat possible, the award for finding a
factor should be set somehow bigger than only the nearest 6x bits. Give
a factor something like the full value of TFing it to 66 bit!
IMHO the TF with a factor found should be equal to an LL; but I have
already discussed this with George and he is afraid only factoring would
be done if the award is that high.

Has this changed? When I joined GIMPS a couple of years ago I
though Factoring only counted when a factor was found.
