[QUOTE=jinydu;141380]At first, beams of particles will be sent in only one direction. It will be a month before the first actual collisions occur. So there should be enough time for finish both verifications. :wink:[/QUOTE]

As the :wink: was supposed to convey, my post was tongue-in-cheek.

In any case, I think it's time to split the last several posts into a separate thread.

I have just seen that your Location needs an update. :wink:

Rob and Tom's verification is complete. As expected, it independently verifies the new prime!

Are you waiting for rgiltrap's verification to finish as well before you announce it?[quote=retina;141413]Okay, great, [B]so what is it[/B]?[/quote]

If not, could you at least release the number of "M45" (just on the site, not as a press release) before "M46" finishes its verifications?

[QUOTE=Prime95;141412]Rob and Tom's verification is complete. As expected, it independently verifies the new prime![/QUOTE]

What is it? Is it indeed M45 (at least until the Sept 6 prime is verified)? Is it bigger than 10M digits?

You announced the discovery 4 minutes past the hour... We'll have to wait 56 more minutes to see "VERIFIED PRIME" on the v4 server :surprised
