If that was the case, your pants would be on fire. LOL

However, since your pants are not on fire, that is an indication that you are telling the truth.

This is a paradox!

And a really funny paradox! :rofl:

Nah, fiery pants would be a funny pair o' dacks.

TJAOI has just finished the 61-bit range. Now he started to send 62-bit prime factors to PrimeNet.

TJAOI finished yesterday the 62-bit range, after submitting the fifth known prime factor of [URL="http://www.mersenne.org/report_exponent/?exp_lo=453289453&full=1"]M453289453[/URL], that has 61,9999994 bits.

So I expect no new prime factors of less than 62 bits for exponents below 1000M.

Unless his code hits a slowdown due to being near 2^64 another 6 months for another bit.

It is near 3 months for bit at this time. According to previous posts in this thread:
[code]
2^50 -> 16 May 2014
2^51 -> ??? June 2014
2^52 -> 18 July 2014
2^53 -> 31 August 2014 (44 days)
2^54 -> 26 October 2014 (56 days)
2^55 -> 30 December 2014 (66 days)
2^56 -> ??? 2015 (??? days)
2^57 -> 18 May 2015 (??? days)
2^58 -> 3 August 2015 (77 days)
2^59 -> 16 October 2015 (74 days)
2^60 -> 30 December 2015 (75 days)
2^61 -> 22 March 2016 (83 days)
2^62 -> 18 June 2016 (88 days)[/code]

I am unsure how he is maintaining this rate considering that the time usually doubles as you add a bit. Long may he continue.

(Accelerated) Moore's law.

[QUOTE=henryzz;436570]I am unsure how he is maintaining this rate considering that the time usually doubles as you add a bit. Long may he continue.[/QUOTE]Do we know that all candidates within the bit ranges are being tested?

From what I can tell no one here knows anything about what this user is actually doing. It all appears to be guesses and assumptions.

Well, I performed several tens of thousand P-1 factorization attempts (probably near 100000) on composite Mersenne numbers with exponents less than 2.3M, and for more than 10000 new factors I found, none of them were less than the ones found by TJAOI.
