Yep, our old friend Fredrik finished the last one: 30184789

Congratulations! Thank you to everyone who did their best to make this possible without poaching.

Congrats to GIMPS.

We've all been watching that milestone approach.
Now it's time to start watching the next one.
But that may be the only significant one reached this year.

No, I think M44 will be confirmed this year. There are only 8,000 exponents left to double-check, and with the new assignment rules, they should be checked in an efficient manner.

Ok, there are 60 days gone already, 300 days left, with 2 per day, I can do 600. As I look to [URL="http://www.gpu72.com/reports/workers/dc/graph/1-10/"]these graphs[/URL], chalsall can do about 3000 alone, monst another 500, and kracker another 500, other will do the rest, and we may still have time for some beer... :razz:

And we didn't count curtisc, neither chuck norris...

[SIZE=1]Disclaimer: this was a joke, the hottest period of the year just started in Thai, so I may need to stop our partnership soon, but seriously speaking, 8000 DC in 10 months, that is piece of cake for the first 20 guys in the top only! (and yes, I know, that curtisc, same as chuck norris, doesn't do DCs...)[/SIZE]

Chuck Norris once found a Mersenne Prime with a composite exponent.

[QUOTE=NBtarheel_33;367666]M44[/QUOTE]Are we there yet?

Indeed.

Countdown to proving M(32582657) is the 44th Mersenne Prime: 7,959

This seems to be falling at a pretty substantial rate.

Also, the remaining candidates below M48 seem to be falling at a very fast rate.

I think we could see both drop this year....mostly due the the new rules.

Countdown to proving only 44 Mersenne Primes less than 10M digits: ?

The query below is limited to 1000 results:
[url]http://mersenne.org/assignments/default.php?exp_lo=1&exp_hi=33219278&execm=1&exfirst=1&exp1=1&extf=1[/url]

Is there a way to get just the count of exponents within a range without returning each individual status?
