That was exactly my first suggestion: send an email to those who have not
show up in the last year and ask them if they are still working on them.
Personnaly, I will 'poaches' those number only if they their progression is
a way behind the tail of the distribution.
By the way, I order to share the negative reaction with Aaron, I checked again
for the snail (a snail is a calculation with an to go date larger than 365).
Last time I did it (29 sept 98) there was 80 snails, now there is 135.
However,
since we check about twice the number of exponent than we were checking at
that
time, this should be consider as a progress. This is 0.3% of the overall
assingment.
Alos of the 80 'snails' of the last year, only 20 survive up to now the others
have be checked by someone else. In those survivor, only 7 are expected to
survive
another four months. There is also four silent runner in this list. One
weird
bahavior: 5292757. Which as appear to have been resetted recently by its
'owner'
to an duration as long as the initial one! Maybe it is the imfamous NSA which
try to hide their own prime :)
