I meant new, as in reportable top-5000 primes, on the 8th drive.

I assume that the mailer knows not to send Emails on port 9000.

Thanks,
Gary

On the entire drive, we've had a total of 2 new primes and 1 confirmed prime for that range. For k=1400-1700, we've had multitudes of them. Gary Last fiddled with by gd_barnes on 2009-01-20 at 00:17

For n=350K to the current processing limit, we have: 23 total primes for k=1400-1700 3 total primes for k=1700-2000 This includes confirmed primes so is not biased by previous searching in any way. As Chris is fond of me saying: Primes are very strange! Gary

There's very strange and then there's really weird.
This sort of thing used to drive me nuts when I would do (semi)fixed n tests. Five primes for one n, then none for the next etc.

Although this is a little biased towards the k=1600-1700 and 1800-2000 ranges that have had little searching done on them...9 consecutive in a k=100 range? Come on, what's going on here? Where are the k=1800-2000 primes as well as others from many k's that haven't been searched for k=1400-1600 & 1700-1800? Counting all primes to remove any bias from ones previously found, since n=350K, we now have: Code: k-value # primes 1400-1500 6 1500-1600 6 1600-1700 12 1700-1800 2 1800-1900 0 1900-2000 2 [There is a k=1800-1900 already-known prime in Ian's reserved manual range so finally the barren stretch there will be broken.] Not only are primes strange, they can be downright bizarre! It's things like this that lead one to conclude that primes are not random and is a large part of the reason that we search huge ranges of k and n all at once...to ultimately help decipher the "code" of primes.

 2009-01-21, 12:43 #33 Mini-Geek Account Deleted     "Tim Sorbera" Aug 2006 San Antonio, TX USA 10AB16 Posts What's the average weight (or combined weight or something) of the k's in 1600-1700 vs the other k=100 ranges? Also, I'd bet that if somebody worked the math out, this is bound to happen some time or another, just like GIMPS's two primes two weeks apart, which seems impossibly unlikely, but it worked out to be a decent probability over as much time as GIMPS has been around and assuming 1 prime/year (which they shouldn't 'expect', by prime heuristics, but they seem to be in a dense area of Mersennes).
