Hehe, you have the same patience like my grandchildren... How old did you say you are? :razz:

If anybody want to poach it, under the provision that if it turns out to be prime, the glory and money goes to the assignee*, be my guest.

(* this is supposed to discourage the poacher, but it won't always work, hehe, anyhow, I don't want to be accused that I encouraged it).

I recall reading, quite long ago, about a government aerospace contract, with set milestones to be accomplished by the end of specific months. An important one was missed, but by mere days, so the government rewrote the calendar to provide a loophole for feigned compliance. Something like, in that country, that year's July 2 was also known as June 32.

It started with Masser posting "Patience grasshopper." I recalled [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8k1eTEw4rQ[/URL] for some reason.

As far as I recall, I didn't specify my age. And we are too complex to be reduced to a single number.
Glad you got the joke. At least the "Are we there yet" iterations are a few days apart.

The latest milestone to be added to the list is crazy. Has it ever been this low in the GIMPS era?

This will give us a milestone for January or February. December is the discovery of a new MP.
Our run of new milestones accomplished [URL="https://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=498523&postcount=2914"]about every month[/URL] should go on for a bit more.

Plus [url=https://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=503481&postcount=150]these two[/url]:

[M]81860479[/M] FFFFFFFF80000000 Unverified[/CODE]

I'll have them DC'ed within a couple of weeks.

Well, besides those two there are a number of cases where some computers' track records are so unfavorable that double checks are likely tantamount to first-time checks.

[URL="https://mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?p=500088&postcount=1774"]Madpoo posted some of them a while back[/URL], but there weren't that many takers so far.

So the first-time testing milestones always have to be taken with a grain of salt.

The milestone was almost as low last time, but maybe not quite as low. The milestone was reached March 2nd, 66 days after the discovery 2017-12-26:
December 26, 2017 Prime M(77 232 917) discovered!
2018-03-02 All exponents below M(77 232 917) tested at least once.

Apparently, the one expiring on December 37th has been poached! So we will have completed the milestone before the end of the year.

[/CODE]ATH is no worry. What's up with Waki's assignment that updates with no progress at nearly complete? Waki's is scheduled to expire on Jan 6.


Are we th...? NO!

I'll move the second to another system.

Edit: M81860447 should be done on the 29th and M81860479 should be done on the 27th.
