Default Inter-Search Time

The time period required to wait between forum searches
is currently 60 seconds. Shouldn't it be 61 seconds?
After all, 2^60 - 1 is composite.

I would rather it be 31 seconds. 60 is too long.

Lightbulb No wait time is better than a prime time.

How about making it a Mersenne prime number of seconds (3, 7, 31)?

That's over a year! 1.3661... years to be exact. That's way too long. I think it should be 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971...* Half-life of Element 118.
