ZOMG another Sierpinski number ruled out!

Yeah, remember that team effort deal about a dozen people joined last year and only I kept going? Well, they ruled out another Sierpinski number, bringing the total down to I believe ten values for k (from the original seventeen). The new prime comes out to be 2,357,207 digits long.

So, yeah, this excited me, and hopefully some other math nerds, so I figured I'd share the news. Oh, and now Team FFR is up to #82 overall, from starting around 225 or so.

It'll put restless minds at ease and demonstrate the power of collective processing.

Well, I beat you in size but you beat me in sheer power.

Take that however you want. Computers or not.

Oh wow, I haven't seen that picture since it disappeared from the server it was initially on about a year ago.

I missed it so much. :'(

I feel tempted to express a desire to be an HP-whatever...
