Weird Residues

[dave_0273]

There seem to be some weird residues in status.txt and I was wondering if someone could explain them. The couple that I found were...

If you are wondering what is wrong with exponent 8801867, it has 20 digits in its residue (18 shown and 2 covered up) and it should only have 18 (16 showing and 2 covered up).

Are these dodgy results or is there some explanation for them.

Dummy_Results? That is a suspicious sounding username.

After doing a little more digging around, I found all of these exponents in lucas_v.txt. The entries are as follows....

However, the interesting thing that I found was that the dodgy residues were not in bad.txt nor was it in hrf3.txt. The dodgy residues were no where to be found in the status files.

[Prime95]

I'd guess these we're incorrectly parsed results coming from the manual web forms.

[garo]

Or, they were dummy results that were submitted using the manual results form for exponents that already had two matching residues or a factor and were still assigned on Primenet. GP2 and I trawled for this kind of exponents and we submitted some "dummy_results" to prevent an unnecessary third test.
