Congrats to Maefly, who found the 23rd prime of the Riesel Sieve Project. The prime, 450457*2^2307905-1, weighs in at more than 694,000 digits. 72 more primes are to be found - come on over to http://www.rieselsieve.com and find out how to join the effort.

Congrats again!

Yeah it'd suck to be #1 overall in the project and be like...

"Yeah...all that work and still no prime." :)

Guessing it was a good idea to hand him some "heavyweight" k's! That means the .DAT file should drop a decent chunk. :)
