stat page / riesel reservation difference
 

i just had a look at the sr5data.txt file and i found this:

k missing :
139970*5^n -1
158750*5^n -1

k too much:
254*5^n -1
27994*5^n -1

for the missing one, i know there is something special (due to the * in the reservation page)
for the too much one, here is the sr5sieve -d test:
Removed all 49616 terms for sequence 254*5^n-1 from the sieve.:sick:
Removed all 29779 terms for sequence 27994*5^n-1 from the sieve.:cry:

it's compared to the riesel reservation thread.
if i look at the stat page, everything is ok.

so wich of the two page is correct and can somebody fix the faulty page ?
thanks
Laurent

Nothing's wrong:

139970 = 5 * 27994
158750 = 5^4 * 254

For a full explanation for this confusion, I recommend you read the thread about k marked with *s.
