Congratulations to Dr. Cooper and Dr. Boone again! Two record primes in less than year. Incredible!
This time the lucky exponent was 32582657. However, 2^32582657-1 contains "only" 9,808,358 digits so the $100,000 EFF award for a 10 million digit prime is still up for grabs. Let's hope that after 5 primes found in less than 3 years we aren't in for a bit of a dry spell. Even though Cooper and Boone were the lucky ones to find the new prime, all GIMPS participants big and small played a significant role in its discovery. We can all be proud - well done! _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
