A call to Computer Support:
-- Hello! I have a huge problem! Nothing works!
-- What have you tried so far?
-- There's this dialog: and it says "Press any key"!
-- Did you press a key?
-- I did, I did!!
-- Did you release the key?
-- Oh....

Perhaps Ernst could enumerate those posts which would give one a one percent range.

Hint: (2^p+1)/3 ... is composite.

Not much of a hint. The largest known Wagstaff Prime is p=~4M (http://www.primenumbers.net/prptop/searchform.php?form=%282^n%2B1%29%2F3&action=Search).

Are you saying that the p in question has a small factor? Again, not much of a hint. About half of the exponents should have small factor.

Mlucas ETA has not changed. Well, ok, it did change. It will be two hours earlier.
It will still be not official - folks, stop devaluing the word "official"!
How can it be official, if there's no official statement?!
Wait for it. :-)

And now we have reached the ETA for Mlucas.

And the result is ...... ?

I keep checking GIMPS to see a formal announcement. I hope it is released within the next few hours, otherwise the message might not be picked up properly by the media and it gets lost in the weekend :(... that would be a shame.
(In Central Europe it is 11:39 AM).

The result is affirmative.

I will say only that enough data have been leaked in this thread to narrow the exponent to within 1%, without any knowledge of GIMPS server traffic and such. But you have to learn how filter out the obvious noise, and thread sub-discussions which actually take things farther away from the correct direction.

I will explain after the official announcement.

After putting together all the clues in this thread, I've narrowed it down to

Code:

curtisc                    58******  C        Jan 25 2013
curtisc                    59******  C        Jan 25 2013

I'm guessing it is the first one.

I thought that "C" meant Composite...

I guess it means Checked !
