[QUOTE=chalsall;327221]Its more politically correct to reference UTC.

England does not have the hold it once had.[/QUOTE]
And,unlike GMT, UTC has leap seconds, added at moments chosen by the French...:smile:

What part of [URL="http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=327045&postcount=240"]Tuesday at 6AM PST[/URL] wasn't clear?

Sleep well. Awake refreshed.

Am I bad at math OR bad at stats OR is CC beating the odds?


From one of my current LL PCs it reports:
" The odds that one of 14 assignments will find a prime is 1/27158"
I extrapote any 1 has a 1/380212 chance.

CC lifetime has done 109,484. Less than 30% of the estimated to find 1; let alone 3!

And then there is ANON with 230,667 attempts; closer to the expected and 0 primes!

...but the earlier jobs (of which his lab had done plenty) had better chances of success?

LaurV, you live @ UTC+11 or +12, right? That's 2 AM wednesday. Should cbe asleep by then!

Today is Monday UTC.

[QUOTE=chalsall;327506]Today is Monday UTC.[/QUOTE]

it's 12:55 am tuesday UTC by google right now. UTC-PST = 8 hours so 6 am PST = 8+12 = 16 hours ahead so 6+16 = 22 = 10 mod 12 = 10 pm tuesday where laurv is it looks like even a few hours pushes it to wednesday.
