Default GIMPS 10'th prime

Gimps tenth prime looks to be underway...
Wondering if it gets to 10M digits...

(Oh boy... how long would it take us to get there...)

I don't know... in 20 years doing the entire range 0 <= n < = 14,306,000 for the remaining k's will probably take less than a month...

Maybe so, but we still need to find a PRIME then :>
might be that the first one we encounter above 10M digits will be 20M digits long...
