Error Fix and Sieving

[Stromkarl]

If I find a factor that will eliminate an error fix test due to be tested, does that count for saving a test or two?? If not, why not? Is it possible to account for this group too, not just the main PRP and/or DC?

If this is possible, are there any other accounts where sieving could save a test? I am referring to accounts on the secret page off the main SOB page, of course.

Probably any k/n pair that doesn't have a residue saves 2 tests. If it needs on residue, then it probably saves 1 test. Don't worry, Mike is very smart about how scoring works.

If I recall correctly, Mike uses data provided by the server to see if a factor saves one, two or no tests as of the time it was submitted. It's the same server which hands out error-fix tests and which provides this info. So as long as there's no errors in the script, there should not be any problems.

OK, Thanks!
