... http://primes.utm.edu/bios/page.php?id=807 gives Joao a production score of "no primes so no score for current list, total 37.9918". Erm. Could one obtain...
... http://primes.utm.edu/bios/top20.php?type=person&by=ScoreRank&at=340 reveals Markus Frind holds the record for least points greater than zero. Will you be...
... I do not understand the question. I think it might be Joao with no has a higher score than some with primes, why? That is because total refers to the...
... He has not found "1" prime -- this erroneous reporting may because of: http://primes.utm.edu/primes/page.php?id=75760 ??? Sorry I can't answer your...
It is amusing that the programs in http://primes.utm.edu/bios/top20.php?type=program&by=ScoreNormal with the 3 lowest scores use the best maths. In particular,...
I have just read all these posts. There is so much speculation going on. First of all, we used Mathematica to find our primes to find very good "Candidates" to...
... I just looked at the posted file, and I must say I find nothing funny in all this talk about "conserve digits and reduce our reckless calculation of...
Hi to everyone, I decided to join the group in order to learn more and not make another mistake such as that of today: 4073791 divides (10^60239-1)/9 Thank you...
Caleb, Thanks for providing the information that you did not provide for Tony in http://www.ltkz.demon.co.uk/ktuplets.htm#largest3 namely that you used Primo...
... In case you are not sure about the meaning of sieving, the question is: For which value of n had you assured before PRP testing that none of the desired...
Welcome. Learning more is the name of the game. I'm glad you didn't get intimidated and go away forever. Mistakes by first-timers tend to be punished pretty ...
We did not find candidates by random. We used a method that we believe can generate good candidates to be triplets. Then we used PrimeQ to see if it is a good...
Caleb ... After deep sieving all (repeat: all) candidates are random. Since you do not sieve beyond the primorial depth of your Ansatz, you may feel that you ...
... I know you don't PRP test completely random numbers. I just wondered whether you (incorrectly) think other prime searchers PRP test candidates at random ...
... Good spot thanks. My routine to weight assumed (incorrectly) there would be no composites on the list. Currently there is one. I will remove it soon....
Jens, I am, as you justly observed, a rather lax siever myself. I sieved on the 5-constellation, in the primorial^3 BLS-provable Ansatz, only up to about 1G,...
Hi, let x^2-2=pQ where p is prime and Q>1 (Q may be composite) I would like to calculate in Pari gcd(p-1,Q-1) for all prime divisors of composite x^2-2. ...

... Oops! Not over "N", but over "p"... x^6-1=2^3-1< 26113 I'll try to modify your program to calculate the minimum gcd, but if in the meantime you post a...
Paul ... That's the nice thing about trying to help; you get to hear what the real agendum is:-) No time, right now. I'll look for min(gcd(p-1,Q-1)) > 6...
... I was wrong. I am seperating into those where x is divisble by 3 and those that are not. Taking those such that x not divisble by 3, ( and probably the law...
About my prime triplet code in Mathematica, I wonder could MathCode C++ transpose my mathematica code into C++? The PrimeQ method I have been reading is...

Thanks. Admitting that one has always a lot more to learn is rare nowadays. Neverthless, I am not intimidated by anyone or anything... You should ask Ed Pegg...
... The 'fading' is _frightening_! I consider PIES to be a fairly lively project, and it's shocking to sometimes see its normalised score drop overnight! I've...
Thanks, Jens, for taking this over. ... I had the feeling that we would see some large gcds. Meanwhile, back at Bouk's ranch, we have a /welcome/ problem: we...
