in hopes of giving people another "here's what to expect" kind of stat, the stats page now lists the minimum size of the next prime found.

currently, it is at 636840 digits. those who are math savvy will notice that it is unlikely that the prime found will be that small. this lower bound case is only possible if the test pending with the lowest n at any given time is found to be prime.

however, it's still neat to look at and it should be nice to watch it climb as the lower-bounds of the individual k values raise over time. I like it.

EDIT: The prime savvy may also notice that we are already above the size of the 5th largest prime known, meaning #5 would be SB's spot unless another discovery changes that.
