Gimpsters,
I went to check out a new exponent from the manual testing pages for
first time LL testing and discovered a batch of poorly factored
exponents on offer. Just recently I'd picked up my first exponents
above 10,000,000, but these were around the 9.9M and had only been
factored to 55-bits. All the other exponents I have out have been
factored to 64-bits. I tried checking out several hoping to get one
that had been factored deeper, but after checking out four which had
been factored to 55 bits, I stopped and checked them back in again. As
I'm running Ernst Mayer's Mlucas I haven't got any way to factor
these.
If any wants to look for them the ones I picked up were:-
9987931
9987979
9988109
9988157
I'll need a new exponent in about 10 hours so I'll be trying again
soon.
