For every Mersenne pun there is a corresponding even Perfect Pun. There is no odd Perfect Pun, the proof is in the margin, if you can't read it then you need the latest Plug-in for Internet Explorer. Paul Landon (in a happy and humorous mood after a great holiday in Hungary watching the eclipse :-) Q. On August 11th, the X & Y coordinates of the left side of the moon _exactly_ divided the X & Y coordinates of the sun; as did the coords of the right hand side. This drew 2 bisecting elliptic curves across the earth (or should that be ecliptic?). Can we use this to calculate Primes? _________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
