I just found 4 factors in a row from exponents randomly assigned by the
project.
So, what's the chance of finding factors using Prime 95's default
settings for four randomly assigned exponents in a row?
The chance of trial factoring finding a factor is about 13%. The chance
for four in a row is 0.13^4 or about 0.03% chance.
