[QUOTE]What's "44rd"? :razz:[/QUOTE]That comes after "43th".

[QUOTE=Qubit;377152]Is today this fireworks day you've mentioned?

July 1: Countdown to proving M(32582657) is the 44th Mersenne Prime: 2,234
(BTW, over what were you taking the percentages?)[/QUOTE]

I fail.....:davieddy:

Percentages relative to Jan 4th remaining.

82% now....only 18% short of my prediction.

How about by Ghost and Goblin day?

Maybe by Firework Night.

2,234 more in the next two days... should be a piece of cake.

Not all countries celebrate their "birthday" on July 4. Petrw1 and I, among a number of others I would imagine, are from Canada, one of those little countries that are sort of hard to find. "Fireworks Day" would likely have referred to yesterday.

TBH when IT first posted I meany July 4th knowing there are a lot more USA than Canada members.

This is very true. I apologize for my lapse of exclusionary 'Americentrism.' No slight was intended.

No offence intended. There are only two countries which I knew did fireworks in July to celebrate their birthday. That being my predicted completion date.
