At the risk of opening Pandora's box, I'd like to bring
up the possibility of splitting up the $100,000 award for a 10 million

I propose we split it like this :
33% to the finder of the first 10,000,000 digit
What do you call someone who searches for primes only because of the prize
money?
A mersennary.
