Can someone explain this to me?
Here are two of my recent factors:
Code:
175.140 33661 5633784 17371.407 Thu 22-Jan-2004
22851.488 5359 5646262 0.000 Thu 22-Jan-2004
Both n's are (were) just above the window for PRP. The first one was ound with sieving, the second with factoring. Obviously P is through the roof on the one that scored zero, but wht does that matter? Isn't the fact that I found a P for a soon to be assigned k-n pair what drives the scoring?

We have found a prime for k=5359, so no more prp'ing will be done for that k, therefore that factor is complete worthless. The submission script should probably reject it.
Either you should get the SoB.dat from the new version (1.2) of sbfactor or you should manually edit SoB.dat to not include k=5359.
