Congratulations also go to Steven Harvey for pushing us back up to 600 primes after Michael Angel's _massive_ 300+ GFN submission 2 days ago which knocked ...
... You just cant stop it. 9th was reported. :) The machine sitting next to it is 3 times powerful but doesnt find 3 times the primes, not even close. Bo...
