Predrag,
Thank you.
(Sorry if this seems off-topic and seems like poetry - it probably is) Carol G.
Kirnon is my best female friend in the whole wide world. She was the first girl
to steal my heart when we were in high school. Therefore, since math is my love
and she is my love, I named the first set of numbers after her. The second set,
and really the second set, because I encountered them days after is named for
the baby girl that had the greatest inpact on my life so far, Kynea R. Griffith
(she is ten years old now). I hope some day when people talk about Carol and
Kynea numbers, they will know a little bit about the two. Hopefully soon, I
will include a biography of the two on Steven Harvey's site.

Cletus,
Sorry, I was not aware of your GC, but I found it now at the bottom
of Steven Harvey's CK page. By the way, the comment "Generalized
Carol" was attached to Ballinger's base 6 GC when I submitted my
prime. At the time it was already confirmed to be prime. I guess the
editor of the site removed the comment manually since he doesn't
approve such "unofficial" comments (?).

Bt the way, who are Carol and Kynea and why are these forms named
after them?

And congrats on your large PRP, (2^148330+1)^4-2, the largest
reported so far.

Regards,
Predrag

> There is Generalized Carol Number in the form ---> GC = (273*2^k -

is prime for k=100935 with 60774 digits, 607 digits more than Ray's.
