Celebrating the sieving record from november

ltd · 2007-12-03, 16:34

I wanted to thank everybody who helped sieving this november.

It was a record breaking month.

We generated by far more points then ever before (27248941) and at the same time
found 10210 factors which is more then impressive.

The last time we found that amount of factors was in april 2006 when we were sieving in reagions with a much higher factor density.

The factors then gave only 3130175 points.

Thanks to some very dedicated sievers (Brucifer and Blistering Sheep) we will complete the catching up with the SOB sieve effort soon. (Only my range will take much longer

)

So lets have a party.

Congrats to all involved.

It is very nice to see the projects sieve portion totally merged.
It's been a long time coming but worth the wait.

onwards and upwards!!!

Looks like 4P by the end of next year is not totally out of reach.
