[QUOTE=Uncwilly;432806]Seeing that the demise of the 36M milestone draws nigh, perchance Aaron would find it expedient to forthwith codify the placement of 37M to list of future achievements.[/QUOTE]

It's not too close, but I do already have the update ready to go. I guess I could go ahead and put that up now. Keep an eye out for that.

[QUOTE=Madpoo;432753]For M63350927 specifically, the latest report shows it expiring in 15 days and finishing in 16.9.[/QUOTE]

And now I'm showing 12 days to expire, and 12.3 days to finish. So it might just finish under the wire after all. C'mon Summy! You can do it!

Latest is now [B]9[/B] days to expire and [B]8.2[/B] days to complete! Well, hooray, but geez... I know they got 90 days to finish but it still seems weird when someone *actually* takes 90 days to finish. Know what I'm saying? :smile:

[QUOTE=cuBerBruce;432329]In any case, the cat 1 (M67542281) should get recycled around May 6 or May 7, assuming the owner doesn't report starting it.[/QUOTE]

Indeed, the owner did not report starting this exponent that had a nearly 25 year ETA, and it has been recycled. It's still a cat 1, not quite in the cat 0 range yet. The new owner's ETA is a mere 27 days.

[QUOTE=Uncwilly;431346]Estimated time until this gets poached????
I am against such activity. I suspect it will occur in less than 2 weeks.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Mark Rose;431349]I think it will be poached before the 20th.[/QUOTE]
I am glad that we are both wrong.

I wondered if my machines were acceptable for category 0 assignments. I have the answer : I am the proud owner of the lowest double-check assignment. It should be finished in less than 4 days...

[QUOTE=NBtarheel_33;420969]Taking a look at the old [URL="http://www.mersenne.org/report_classic/"]"colorful stats report"[/URL]:[LIST][*]Only 8,600+ Mersenne numbers need factored to reach a total of 3,000,000 factored Mersenne numbers in the "classical" exponent range of 0-79.3M.[/LIST][/QUOTE]

This number is now down to 1,417, and the milestone of 3,000,000 factored Mersenne numbers could be reached by the end of May.

I may end up owing some apologies to some users who were assigned exponents I accidentally poached. :(

I specifically noticed it when looking at one I just checked in:
[URL="http://www.mersenne.org/M35720957"]M35720957[/URL]

I had a handful of 35M exponents assigned to me and rather than keep them on some slower machines, I moved them to my fastest systems to get them done quicker. In the process I noticed I had some other 35M work that I'd manually planned to look at (they were exponents where the CPU doing the first check had a so-so chance of being bad)... Those worktodo entries got tossed in with the rest of my 35M stuff. Argh.

Anyway, if you're someone that I accidentally poached their assignment, I apologize and I'll donate my work credit to you, just PM me with the exponent and your Primenet username...

In the meanwhile, on the bright side, M63350927 looks like it'll finish in just 4.7 more days (expires in 6). We can hope.

And it's done!

[QUOTE=ixfd64;433649]And it's done![/QUOTE]

*Finally*... that was brutal.

Milestone page updated. I think I might add a countdown for < 69M...

[QUOTE=Madpoo;433653]*Finally*... that was brutal.[/QUOTE]

Interestingly, four of Summy's other low assignments have already been recycled, and his remaining three are scheduled to be over the next few weeks.
