Hey Guys,

Hope this is the right thread! How long was it before your first composite number on any test? I have a number of tests running and I haven't found a single composite number yet (I've been on the search for 5 months)!

I was wondering if I had hit a "rich vein" of exponents that might yield something nice or if this was an everyday occurence? Any comments??

Cheers, Mark
