Hooray for us! The first prime since I started. Would it be a reasonably easy task to compute and post the total (approximate) number of LL P90 years since the last prime was found? That would give a (simple-minded, inaccurate, and meaningless except to me) estimate of what percentage my almost-40 years represent toward the total effort. I know it is a small amount, dwarfed by many, but knowing the number would help me personalize the event. Congratulations and thank you to George and all the others who have made it possible for so many of us to be a part of this fun.
