    Prime Found by Maefly

    Congrats to Maefly, who found the 23rd prime of the Riesel Sieve Project. The prime, 450457*2^2307905-1, weighs in at more than 694,000 digits. 72 more primes are to be found - come on over to http://www.rieselsieve.com and find out how to join the effort.

    Congrats again!

    Yeah it'd suck to be #1 overall in the project and be like...

    "Yeah...all that work and still no prime."

    Guessing it was a good idea to hand him some "heavyweight" k's! That means the .DAT file should drop a decent chunk.

    You can always tell a Brummie, but you can't tell him much.
