The search is over. A World Record AP26 (Arithmetic Progression of 26 primes) has been found. The finder is Beno&#227t Perichon [AF>HFR>RR] Jim PROFIT (http://www.primegrid.com/show_user.php?userid=19363)) of France. He is a member of the L'Alliance Francophone (http://www.primegrid.com/team_display.php?teamid=37) team. The AP26 progression is written as 43142746595714191+23681770*23#*n for n=0..25. It was found by a PS3 running Linux. For more details on this find, please see this forum post (http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=1246&nowrap=true#22466). Congratulations to everyone who participated in the AP26 Search. It has been a very challenging and rewarding project. Also, a special thanks to all the programmers who ported AP26 making it the most accessible project at PrimeGrid.

Note: there will be no more work once the queue is empty, so we would like to ask people not running for the badges to stop running AP26 subproject and give a chance for others to reach their final levels.
