Hi,

I haven't participated in this project for some month, so I'm a bit curious now:

Five primes where found up to now; all of them between Nov 27 and Dec 23. I remember enthusiastic members saying "we will have found all the primes before the end of the year" then.

Now, two months have passed, and no other primes were found. Are those primes so much harder to find (that much bigger)? Has this project lost most of it's members? Were we just lucky in December and unlucky in January and February?

Thanks for your response,
Christian
