    Confirmed: 2^25,964,951 - 1 is prime

    GIMPS did it again. 2^25,964,951-1 that has 7,816,230 digits is prime. It's now the biggest prime number in the word, the 8th GIMPS did discover.

    It took more than 50 days of calculations on Dr. Nowak's 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 computer.
    My first and only prime only took me 33.184 sec! (It's a small one)

    Congratulations to Dr. Nowak.
