Steven, congrats on your first prime!! :cool: And a nice and large one. I'm glad I was wrong when I suggested you that it contains no primes.

But, you failed to include our project, RPS (Riesel Prime Search) in your proof-code L186:down: Now it can only be done by asking the editor of Top-5000, prof. Caldwell to do it. You can mail him by selecting "Mail Editor" from the web page of [URL="http://primes.utm.edu/bios/code.php?code=L186"]L186[/URL]. Thanks.
