... you shop for fast efficient hardware daily.

You just might be addicted to GIMPS if you are desperated that there is still no new Mp.
As you know that your computer can run 5% faster if you decrease the temperature by 10 degree,
you bay a sleeping bag and a box of your favorite beer on monday morning,
open the window, drink a beer and go sleeping in the sleeping bag.


Slow down your system and speed up Gimps !

Thread title if + you can swallow down an entire range of exponents with your high end kits.

I remember one night I dreamed of factoring M1277 by myself. But on the next morning, I went to mersenne.ca and looked for exponents around 1100. I lost hope immediately when I saw how HUGE these factors are. And then I think we won't factor M1277 in 5 years.

I had a dream about a month ago of a new Mersenne prime being found in 70M range (I remember seeing the exponent in the table of known primes, it was 76xxxxxx or 78xxxxxx, or possibly 79xxxxxx, but I don't remember the rest of the number, even though I remember seeing the entire exponent, so I can't check if it's a Mersenne prime, or even check if the dream exponent itself is a prime at all.) Maybe it will be discovered by the DC wavefront and I will have predicted the prime. Fingers crossed! :lol:


PS: If someone knows a hypnotist, I might give it a try to remember the number. :wink:

Touché.

You go into "road warrior" mode, and the first thing you do when you get Internet access is launch your Colab instance...

P.S. Canada is COLD!!!
