good old fashioned strategic double-checking
 

Here's an updated list. 3:1 or worse bad-to-good.

You'll note a lot of these are the larger exponents (mostly from that bad system I've been chipping away at to corroborate the trend). I guess it should be suspicious when someone turns in as many as 40 LL results in that 70-80M range in a single month... they were probably overclocking too the extreme and thus ran way over the redline. Some months were definitely better than others.

I grabbed these two.

Has anything interesting come from the mandatory DC work change, by the way?

I've queued all of the above needing another check and not assigned.

@MarkRose,
Just out of curiosity, why have you recently done so many LL tests on small (3M) exponents?
They were already TCed/QCed, Any sort of QA run?

Just for fun. Every result was a triple check if disregarding self-verified results. Every exponent between 3000K and 3010K is now triple checked.

I'm surprised anyone noticed.

I'd been tempted to carry on some of my (I'm sure useless) triple checks of the smaller exponents too... I think I got up to everything < 2M before I moved on to looking at the bad computers, and then that caught my eye as a fun project. :smile:

The small exponent triple-checking was mostly just me confirming old code... yeah, they'd been double-checked, but what if, just on some extreme chance, some bug in an old app caused it to spit out some weird (but same) residue each time? Long shot, and until you look, you don't know what you'll find. :smile:

I thought of continuing all the triple checks up to 3M-4M. I could probably do it in about two months.
