Hi all!
The 38th Mersenne prime was *probably* discovered today. The exponent
is in the 6,000,000s (the prime is in the neighborhood of 2,000,000 digits).
The discoverer is a member of the top 200 contributors according to
http://www.mersenne.org/top.htm
As was agreed after
What's the stroy with this prime that Primenet says is unverified?

Hi all,
One more thing, thankfully this was not an exponent that was
originally tested by the buggy version 17.
Best regards,
George

Wow! Finally, we've been waiting for this for months now!
Congratulations to George, Scott and the discoverer!
