AP20 diff 53#   Message List  
Reply Message #8393 of 10131 |
I just got AP20 with difference 53#:

178284683588844176017 + 53#*n, n=0..19

It took me 10 days with 30 64-bit computers (although some of them were
not working all the time). It is really hard to get a progression that
long with terms having more than 64 bits. Frankly, I was loosing hope I
could get it in a reasonable time.

Thanks. With one new, but 32-bit computer, this search would take a few years. And moreover I think I was quite lucky too, although I cannot give an estimate...
