Perhaps it has to do with time zones. Congratulations to both discoverers.

Time zones? What do time zones have to do with it? The top-5000 site is central time U.S. There is still 24 hours in its day just like there is in any time zone in the world.

Both discoverers? There was only one discoverer.

It is not unusual for only one top-5000 prime to be discovered/reported in a single day. It happens quite often. Perhaps people are less likely to check their machines on a holiday and so there might be somewhat fewer primes reported on such days. But this is not out of the ordinary. Many times there are no primes reported in a 24-hour time frame.

Any prime found here is a nice prime so we always celebrate the discoveries.

The reference to time zones was meant to mean that a prime might be discovered in New Year's eve in Oregon at 23:00 pacific daytime and would arguably be considered not the first prime of the new year, while a prime discovered 6 hours earlier in London might be considered as one belonging to the new year.

I don't write this in the animus of creating an argument, I am merely try to explain what I meant by "time zones". I hope it is understood

That is something I agree with enthusiasm and hopefully everyone else does too..
