Thanks to all who responded to my 'what was the first 1000-digit prime' query.
Another question: Can anyone tell me who discovered the first twin primes of 100+ digits, and when. I tried various Web pages and found 260497545*2^6625 +/- 1 (2003 digits, Atkin & Rickert, 1984), but none smaller or earlier. Thanks. -- Tony _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
