Well we have been running secondpass for quite some time now, bringing the secondpass level up from ~2.5M to 5M. It appears that the creators are dilgently working on ensuring we have matching residues for all k/n pairs for non prime k's with n<5M.
My hats off to you guys good work :cheers:
Did this effort pay off? Yes and then some, k=4847 fell to the second round of beating :bonk: and who knows how high we would have had to test this k???
The work saved during this effort was well worth any frustration.
With the above in mind I though it was time to create another poll... what is the question? Same as before
How far would you like to see secondpass get before the firstpass que is repopulated?
Previous results:
3.5M I think we are far enough now... repopulate the que 6 11.76%
4M (4,000,000) 8 15.69%
4.5M (4,500,000) 2 3.92%
5M (5,000,000) 17 33.33%
6M (6,000,000) 8 15.69%
7M (7,000,000) 10 19.61%
A little less than 2/3'rds of the voters at that time thought we should repopulate at 5M... Note that this was before the missing prime was uncovered.
I ask the same question again...
