Predict the exponent and/or the date it will be found.

I'll go with 1/19/2038.

Exponent will be between 42,000,000 and 43,000,000. Date of discovery October 2009.

You will it will be over 32 years until the next Mersenne prime?!

He is jealous of my record for worst prediction on M43!

The 44th Mersenne prime will be discovered around May 15th, 2007, simultaneously with the Higgs boson and supersymmetry at the LHC, and it will be in between 36 and 37 million. If you want a more precise result, the next exponent will be 36936929. For more details, see

Expect the worst. That way you will always be pleasantly surprised.

(I just hope I live long enough to see 1/19/2038!)

It will be the first 10 million digit
between 35000000 and 36500000

Not sure for me : I would be 102...

I don't think:
M36936929 has a factor: 130830602519
