In working on the size 101 sequences, I came painfully close to my first termination or merge:

1458280 dropped all the way to 7641200 at I2957...barely missed. :down:

I'm mentioning this here because when I loaded the factors it appeared to be a true merge with "something" because it immediately jumped up to 110 digits. Could it possibly have merged with a smaller sequence? I'm not sure how to do research on merges with sequences other than the lowest point of a particular sequence so could someone look into this?

I do see that nearly all sequences < 10M have already been factored to close to 100 digits. So likely it "merged" with some work already done on 7641200.

The new update command together with the much older merge finder should generally be sufficient. :smile:

Hooray! I actually got a merge! :smile:

:banana:

Now I got my first termination:

1485060

:smile:

They come in pairs! :rolleyes: Congrats!
