You shouldn't have shown the full residue of your result in the attached image (which was quite funny).

I've now scheduled this as a double-check on one of my R720 machines to ensure the matching residue is from a trusted machine.

There are more if you choose to allow a single digit month and/or day.

You check the results more than once a day.

You find the appropriate speed (not the highest) on your laptop cooler to keep turboboost from underclocking too much.

You alter BIOS settings for every ounce of performance.

You beg for haswell-ex systems.

You check the results again.

You have p95 installed on everything you can get your hands on.

You check the results again.

You check the results again.

You play a drinking game every time a prime number occurs on your car odometer and after the first hundred miles vow to never buy a new car again.

You decide to learn Arduino to build a digital clock that announces special primes... (guilty)

After you run an LL test and learn that a particular number isn't prime, you retest that number again, just to be sure.

You perform lots of P-1 and TF work on M57885161 in the hope of finding a factor and thereby demonstrating the inconsistency of the axioms on which Mathematics is founded.

You entertain guests with stories of numbers that you tested on your last vacation, with a slideshow.

You stop seeing psychiatrists because you find it more economical to see prostitutes, to talk to about numbers.

During your last three dental visits you did not receive anaesthesia, and did not notice.
