I knew about this!!! :smile: :smile: :smile:
The 100[sup]th[/sup] sudoku in the sudoku book I know uses only prime numbers. (2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23)

Which is technically just the same as a normal sudoku. The author of the book must have had an obsession with prime numbers to do something that stupid. And do you only know of one sudoku book?

Before you buy a math magazine, you seek through the pages and find a picture of prime95 in it.

(Just happened to me, I found the prime95 picture on the math magazine :smile:)

When writing your will, instead of putting "I wish to be buried" or "I wish to be cremated" you put "I wish to be laminated whilst wearing my 'GIMPS FINDS PRIMES' badge". Adding, "The badge must be replaced as new world record primes are found".

You go to [URL]http://www.peteranswers.com[/URL], and ask 'Peter, what is the 48th Mersenne prime?' :smile:
(I haven't done that yet, I'm going to do that later)

[quote=ixfd64;102361]One of your favorite movies is Stealth (even though it didn't do too well in the box office) because the protagonist Ben Gannon has an obsession with prime numbers.[/quote]

Maybe this would be better:

Your most favorite movie is Contact, because the prime numbers are used to find E.T's. :w00t:
And your second most favorite movie is Cube, because it has prime numbers at some time, but if you get into the room which has one or more prime numbers at the door, you would be at danger. :sad:

(I found this information at my math book, which also talking about GIMPS.)

One more:
You are REALLY addicted to GIMPS if you find a quantum-computer making project, and contribute to that project, and when that's finished, you hijack that quantum computer to run Prime95. :showoff::pancakebunny:

Why would you want to run prime95 on a quantum computer? Quantum computers are absolute crap at running non-quantum algorithms.

The weather turns and you think that it just might justify the purchase of a box with a fancy graphics card, or 4.

can still improve ... theories
