PrimeNet now reporting two unverified primes again

[ixfd64]

PrimeNet now says "Prime, UNVERIFIED: 2" again. Did George or Scott manually change the number, or did GIMPS just find a third prime this year?

I believe it is the former case, but I wouldn't mind if GIMPS found yet another prime!

By the way, these are the first-time exponents that were cleared between 19:00 and 20:00 UTC:

I doubt it, but that'd be quite amazing if it really is a third. I hope they don't hold out on the identity of the first two on us if it is a third, until the third's verification is done!

BTW there's nothing with the known fake algorithm generator in this set, just like with "M46".

Not a third prime. I thought of a workaround for the reporting bug.

Why aren't wait for M50 !!!!??? Then publish them, M45,M46,M47,M48,M49,M50. I think it would be much larger articles in the press, than just publishing these tiny M45,M46.

Like Professor Frink's sarcasm detector?

Comic Book Guy: Oh yeah, everyone's real happy then.
Lyndsey Nagle: Do I detect a note of sarcasm?
Professor Frink: (With sarcasm detector) Are you kidding? This baby is off he charts mm-hai.
Comic Book Guy: A sarcasm detector, that's a *real* useful invention.
