Sieve Check - stats

I think Thommy is probably correct here.

The other possibility is that you found a factor for a small n (<10000) and recently that factor was found by someone doing P-1 factoring.

Anonymous, you should probably get in the practice of saving your factor files. One never knows when we will have a mini-catastrophe and lose tons of data...

Yeah, that makes sense.

Okay, I'll keep factor files around in the future.

All were known factors. How can that be?

First thought - the sieve results upload is slow sometimes, perhaps you or your browser resent the data unintentionally and the results were counted twice, the second time noting that the results were already submitted. This has happened in the past. If this is the case, we should be able to tell by looking at the Riesel/Sierpinski stat pages and noting the number of factors you submitted in the last thirty days.

The only other possibility is that this range was poached. AES has not reserved any ranges and yet he has several factors reported in the last 30 days. He could be factoring low-n values, so it may not be him.

Perhaps our resident statskeeper can look into this recent problem... keep working on the range, if the total range has been poached, I will find some way to credit you with the work...

grr....

Are you sure you selected your name when you input the results? AES is the first name in the drop down list of names, so if you forgot to select your name before you submitted the results, they were probable submitted under his name.

If this is the case, it is probable fixable.

Hi masser,

That could be what happened because I never got any credits either. By any chance can Select User Name be in the box by deafult? That would eliminated a screewup like me.

Thanks
