Curious George Goes on Walkabout and Kiwi Safari
 

I'll be vacationing in New Zealand and Australia from Jan. 29 to Mar 2. I'll have limited Internet access for the first two weeks and then it will depend on the capabilities of each hotel.

Let's hope for a quiet vacation this time. Last August's vacation we found a new prime. Last October's vacation disaster struck the server.

How about instead of hoping for a quiet vacation, we hope for a repeat of the August vacation, including two primes! :wink:

[quote=Prime95;160704]Last August's vacation we found a new prime. Last October's vacation disaster struck the server.[/quote]Hmmm ... 33 days. Time enough for both!

So does that mean you're not giving permission to find a new Mersenne prime?

Be sure to post some pictures when you get back!

I will get M47 and M48 ;o).

It's a secret, but we will see Mr. Prime95 hectically moving his arms because the primes are found (again) in his vacations.

The M-primes even follow him in his vacations ;=) ...

To avoid confusion with a previous thread (or two)
may I suggest "Yet Another Vacation" as a title?

Well, Mr. Prime95 is important but it's not the very probable that the whole mersenne prime world will go to hell if he's not available for a few weeks :D

You''re 1 and 1, so this is like a tie-breaker.

If we get another prime you're allowed (even encouraged) to take more vacations; if, on the other hand, it's another server crash ...

What if the server crashes [I]because[/I] there's a new prime? Do we go to a shootout?

Sure my new 1000M mersenne prime will kick it`s ass :w00t:

That is way out of range :sad:

George has certainly chosen an interesting time to visit. Temperatures >45C, 130+ dead and rising, 750 homes destroyed - and that is just one state.

And further North, wide spread flooding:

Take care!

Goodbye New Zealand. Hello Australia. We're arriving in Tasmania shortly.

The devil you are. ;)
