Looks like the range I was working on is already done, except the under 39000 ranges marked "in progress".

Factorial primes search?

In case someone is still keeping track of a factorial prime search, all numbers are tested up to 39200.

Tested up to p=67261

For n°3, IF x and y are integer and > 0
x+y = 1994
or
x+y = 2990

x says no => x < 1994
y says no => y < 1994; y>996
x says no => x < 998; x>996
=> x = 997
y = 997
