Hi Gordon,
this 71-bit factor was found by P-1 out of 17 exponents (so far):
[Sat Apr 15 01:47:40 2000]
P-1 found a factor in stage #1, B1=25000, B2=275000.
UID: dismit/P233MMX, M4428701 has a factor: 3035629975521900014017
It was found at stage 1 by V20 beta 4. I'd have expected finding
factors at lower bits first.
Greetings
