I think I may have one that cannot be beaten. Actually, I'm sure it's been beaten many times, but no one reading this will have beaten it.

I managed to [B]drop[/B] from being ranked [B]#1301[/B] to being ranked [B]#14,201[/B].

I just turned in my first LL result since April 8, 2002, and have jumped up to #13,149!

Currently 9 running Prime95/mprime to at least 50%. And double-checks are faster (they are also included in LL tests). Also, I started early:[CODE]Account created: 12 Jan 1999 22:15 UTC[/CODE]
