No wonder that Chris Cooper finds all the primes (and by now, he'd already found two more but holds on to them because [SPOILER]two is so pass[FONT=Calibri]é[/FONT] - he wants to submit three at the same time[/SPOILER]).
Everyone else is clearing composites. :-) Of course, seriously, this is not true either, and this poll has a systematic bias - it polls the [I]forum members[/I]. 99% of the crunchers don't even know that the forum exists. Of them ~50% (or 30% or 90%?) may not even have a human behind them (I am referring to the Niesluhowski paradox - if one of his computers had deciphered the SETI signal he would never know! It could have been in a small classroom 50 miles away from him. He allegedly included SETI@Home + BOINC to CDs that were used to image all school district computers). Sometimes this is how a new prime goes unnoticed for three months. (And the same nightmare is now in progress at PrimeGrid; there's a record prime, but no one can find the human who found it. The computer that reported the number stays cool under torture and never gave them the name. 8-S ) |
