Hi, Could someone explain this observation? As far as I know, always the smalles available exponent gets assigned. Everyday at 6:00 UTC expired exponents are added to the list of available exponents, these get assigned during the next few hours.
But there are some exponents listed as available that seem not to get assigned. E.g. for double checks in the range 8000000-8299999 there are 26,8,2 exponents listed as available, and this doesn't change 8000000 8099999 1 26 430 196 8100000 8199999 8 655 219 8200000 8299999 37 1 86 52 2 444 136 8300000 8399999 1 1 2 756 136 Similarly for 1st time tests and factorings. What are those exponents and what is happening with them?
