This is not a particularly effective cheat; you still end up having to
do
significantly more than half of the computational work. Is there any
evidence
that this may be happening?

Sorry Nathan. It is my fault you read the IMHO paragraph in a wrong
way. I meant I had that point of view UNTIL I discussed it.. As
George argue: Nobody would do LL if a succesful TF was rewarded the
same - he is
Which remind me, to avoid the cheat possible, the award for finding a
factor should be set somehow bigger than only the nearest 6x bits.
Give
a factor something like the full value of TFing it to 66 bit!
IMHO the TF with a factor found should be equal to an LL; but I have
already discussed

I'm pretty sure 'twas always thus. I mean, even if you don't find a
factor, you're still doing work and contributing to the cause.
When I had my little incident a few years back (4 and a half years
ago, can you believe it?), the prime service was stopped before a single
one had finished it's LL
this with George and he is afraid only factoring would
be done if the award is that high.

These days you get an assignment say 21.1xx.xxx and it will give you

Team_prime_rib has a calculator for the exact value you will get for any

When George originally created the list of candidate exponents, he
eliminated tens of millions of composite exponents, and an
infinite number
of negative exponents, non-integer exponents, imaginary
exponents, and
prime exponents above the range of the program.
