Japelprime has reported completion to n=285K on Sierp base 9.

Reserving Sierp. base 23 k=8 up to n=125K. :smile:

Riesel Base 27
 

No joy finding the last prime for this conjecture. :cry:
[quote=gd_barnes;148592]... That last one is almost always the hardest.
Gary[/quote]That's something I'm appreciating more and more.

In fact, I'm going to write a book in your honour, :bow:, "The Wisdom Of G. D. Barnes".
"That last one is almost always the hardest."
"Primes are very strange."
"It won't be proven in our lifetime."
"I hate gaps."
"Everybody switch servers!!!"


Riesel base 27 tested to n=145k. Tests are now taking half an hour so I'm unreserving this.
I've pushed the sieve file to 10.8T. Results and sieve file attached. Factors removed from sieve file are available by request.

ROFLMAO !! I about fell out of my chair on this one.

Perhaps I should be concerned though. Are you mocking me now? lol Even if you were, I'd still have to laugh. It's funny having your own words thrown back at you.

That leads me to this thought:
It's kind of amazing when people get into their 40's that many finally get comfortable with their own quirks. It is at that point that they finally tell others who have been giving them a hard time about being a certain way to just shut up and accept them like they are or leave. I've known many friends and relatives who have had the same revelation in their 40's. I suspect that it may be why many divorces occur during that age, myself included.

It also leads me to my own public revelation that I stated at a team lunch in front of many of my coworkers about 5 years ago, to which I got an uproarious laugh out of most of them because they knew me so well after having working with me several years already. That revelation was:

"I'm anal and detailed like my mom and I'm opinionated and annoying like my dad." :smile:

I even told my mom that I told my coworkers that. She laughed because she knows that she's overly detailed about stuff at times too.

I'm sure many of you here can see those qualities in my overly wordy posts at times. That's the way I am and it took me a long time to finally be comfortable with it. lol I thought some of you would find it interesting as to how they relate to my "real life" also.

Anyway, thanks for a good laugh! :smile:

Wait till you turn 60. People will ignore your quirks, just chalking them up to old age. I too, have been very detailed oriented over the years and the older I get the less detailed I get because I just can't remember what I was going to be detailed about.

Well, teasing you in a respectful way. :smile: I find myself thinking about primes and semi-quoting you. 'Yes, these gaps [I]are[/I] very strange.' 'I wonder if we [I]can[/I] prove this in our lifetime.'
I sit and think a lot so I pick up on people's quirks sometimes.

Be sure and use the sieve file attached to the reservations web page. It includes both k's remaining on this base.

[quote=michaf;151715]Riesel base 31 is now at 100k.

I have found no further primes :(

I'll be leaving this base alone for a while now...[/quote]


Thanks for the huge effort on this base, Micha!

Can you give us a status on Riesel base 24 now?

Yep--I've been using the provided sieve file from the start. In fact, that's part of the reason why I picked this base to work on. :smile:

So then your testing both k's on the base?
