Where is 'M45'? - poll #4

[Uncwilly]

Based upon a suggestion, in the attempted use of group logic:
The poll is designed to narrow the range down for where M45 might be.
Then in a follow-up poll, narrow it down further, etc.

For the purpose of this poll, M45 is being defined as the next mersenne found.
Of course we are using the convention of using the exponent, without the 2^ -1.

No guesses, predictions, or reasoning in this thread. Only voting and comments about the poll. All previous rules carry on to this thread.

The ranges listed are from the range in poll #3 that had the highest number of votes.

Vote only for the range that you think is closest to the actual value of M45, not to shape the data.

Note: It is quite premisable to look at data outside of this poll and use reasoning to form your opinion and vote. (like checking the available candidates in the ranges listed).
This poll will close automatically.

This will be the last poll in this series.

So, a vote for range 51,000,001-51,120,000 is equivalent to predicting that M45 will be less than 51,120,001 (i.e., 0-51,120,000) and a vote for range 51,480,001-51,600,000 is equivalent to predicting that M45 will be greater than 51,480,000.
