Re: Mersenne: Factoring Top 100
AH yes... I recall when I was up there at about 120 on LL maybe better. now someplace around 240 not sure i'll need to go look after this msg. Even with 12 or so systems it still slips... the PC's , like me, are getting old!!! On the factor side (slow old PC ) they just keep chewing along... I do enjoy the 2GHZ PC knocking out a double ck every 4 days... soon it will be into the 90x range. y'all have a good day.

RE: Mersenne: Factoring Top 100
Well, you could be goofy like me and try to get to the same # ranking in both the factoring and LL test stats. For a while I was #15 on both, but I think my factoring slipped to #16 and my LL moved to #14... Better add another factoring machine. :) The fun part is you don't even need to have a bunch of machines... Just shoot for being like #98 on both lists or something, adjust your work accordingly to get it just right. :) I suppose it's easier as you reach higher on the stats because we're more spread out there, but the jostling for the #15 position in the factoring table does seem pretty close, relatively speaking...

Now what to try for? :-) Bah, top 100 factoring isn't that hard! :) I just checked my ranking and with only four computers I'm sitting at 140 and top 100 looks quite doable. You could make your mark by poaching the last remaining exponent under M38, assuming that Draco Malfoy doesn't beat you to it. :) _ Unsubscribe list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
