We're #3 in terms of number of primes found!
 

TPS and PrimeGrid just made it into the #3 spot: [url]http://primes.utm.edu/bios/top20.php?type=project&by=PrimesRank[/url]

Congrats to everyone here and at PrimeGrid! :grin:

Any guesses on when we'll be #1? I'm guessing we'll get there on July 12th.

Congratulations to everyone! However, my guess for reaching No.1 would be Aug, 15th of this year.

-D

July 4th fireworks!

Good job guys!

At least 2 years according to my calculation or more, to get to #1 spot.

Errrr...
:yzzyx:We'll hit it on September, 1st!

You guys were waaaaay off :wink:

Congratulations TPS & PrimeGrid for #1

We're number 1 then? Cool.

#1
 

# 1 is always a great place to be. I have found one of them using BOINC and Primegrid. :rolleyes:

Unfairly to other "projects", the joint projects Twin Prime Grid and PrimeGrid are currently each getting full credit for the same work. This will most likely be adjusted soon. :mad:

930 primes greater than n=333333 need to be submitted to the top5000 primes for TPS/PG to loose credit for their smallest n=333333 prime. If they find all new primes to make this so and no twin, then the maximum count they can have is 655+930 or 1585 primes, which is equivalent to today's "normailzed score" of 2179. Other projects, teams and individuals are finding primes too though; so they will not actually reach this number of primes in the top5000 -- plus there is the effect of the "adjustment" :razz:

I will applaud TPS/PG if they [I]really[/I] make #1 spot

I don't see why they shouldn't both get full credit for the work, since the 2 projects are really the same one.

Mr. Underwood (and others) might be bitter because other projects got pushed off the list, since TPS/PG occupied two rankings instead of one. For example, the current rankings are:

1.) Primegrid
1.) Twin Prime Search
3.) Prime Internet Eisenstein Search
4.) Riesel Prime Search
...and so on.

A solution would be to have:

1.) Primegrid
1.) Twin Prime Search
2.) Prime Internet Eisenstein Search
3.) Riesel Prime Search
...and so on
