He misquoted the joke, which should say the person is an agnostic, not atheist.

[QUOTE=Primeinator;385490]Dropping quickly!

Countdown to proving M(32582657) is the 44th Mersenne Prime: 20[/QUOTE]

It's 19 now, and I want to apologize in advance because I accidentally poached an exponent in progress.

31486109 ... and my apologies to "tysydenham" (you will still get credit when this is done, I'll make sure of that and remove my own credit). I'll remove the credit I got for it. I was testing what happens after a manual check in and I needed to run a test that would complete quick to use for that, and I just picked the lowest # needing a triple check. I totally spaced out the fact that, obviously, this would be assigned to someone else.

Very sorry about that.

Meanwhile, I'm hoping the rest of y'all who haven't been following the server redesign thread are enjoying the new look.

Once we've reached that new milestone on M44, I'm going to try and set something up so we'll have some fun stats on the other milestones... special reports where we can track the comings and goings of them and try to get some excitement around them.

If you have any ideas, let me know. Sounds like this thread is a good place to talk about the milestones so if there's anything I can do to make it easier to track some things, holler.

Some of my ideas are to link to some special assignments page that only includes the assignments to reach some milestone. You may have noticed that by default, the /assignments/ page includes the ones to reach the M44 milestone, so something like that.

The next ones are larger... 6380 to first-time LL check all the stuff up to M(57885161) which is too much for one report, but I've already whipped up something that will look at all the assignments and spit out an ETA on when the last one is expected to complete. I don't know if that's useful? I'm open for ideas though.

EDIT: just confirming I've removed 37.2586 GHz-Days from my total. :)

Personal
 

I just now sneaked past the GPU72 Overall progress for the departed Pete (BCP19). Much has happened since, but it seems to me that he was once in the Top 5 on GPU72. It says something to me about the his contribution that it has taken this long, even with 2 GPUs a lot of the time, for me to equal his high water mark.

All exponents below 79,300,000 (the upper limit of classical GIMPS).

I like both of these ideas.

It might also be interesting to see how many exponents have been eliminated by trial factoring or P-1 in these given ranges. "Total LL-time saved = ....."

All under 10M digits have soon been double checked so that will be a short lived countdown.

So maybe 20M digits (M66438557)?

Or maybe the 5,000,000th prime exponent: 86,028,121 (or 3rd or 4th millionth if you want a shorter countdown: 49,979,687 / 67,867,967)

We are almost done with the first 2 million exponents btw, last one: M32452843

Here's some examples
 

Based on the comments thus far:

Countdown to double-checking all exponents below 10M digits (33219280): 209
Countdown to first time check all exponents below 20M digits (66438557): 46,496
Countdown to first time check all exponents below 79.3M (old client limit): 299,600
Countdown to single-checking all exponents below 100M digits (332192831): 6,031,014

Total # of exponents with a known factor: 28,345,717
Total # of factors found: 35,849,478 (yup, several have more than one factor found for it, some have a lot, most just one).

Total # of exponents checked at least once: 1,414,363
- double-checked = 749,044
- single checked = 617,725
- factor found later = 47,076
- bad/suspect unverified = 10,218
(there's some overlapping in the breakdowns, if you're double-checking the math)

If any of those #'s look wonky, then it's my fault. In my math classes I was always taught to verify any result based on at least a rule of thumb like "does it seem like you're in the ballpark with that answer?". In these cases, I don't really know... I don't have any estimates in mind of how much total work GIMPS has done over the years, and I'm also making some assumptions when pulling data from the database. :)

If those seem like they're reasonable, I could look at adding/updating the milestones page with whatever.

It does go to show, finding factors is a pretty big assist. 28.3MM exponents cleared from doing LL tests thanks to factoring work.

That´s a good one.
This number is available from GIMPS Visualization, but the count is currently wrong, and chalsall has already hinted he´s not going to do anything about it. Actually, several ranges (e.g. <1M, 400M, 500M), have the count of factored exponents wrong. As GIMPS Visualization used to be an interesting tool to track project progress, I´m wondering, if it´s not too much of a cheeky request, whether it woul be possible to integrate at least part of the info provided by GV in the info provided by the new server - basically the tabular data for "Exponent Status" and "Trial Factored Depth".

And btw, I´m really impressed by the look and specially the performance of the new server. Many congrats, Madpoo, and thanks a lot for your work!
