Good show, Dingo. Still looking for my 1st one. 

I think you have a better chance if you only run PrimeGrid on a PC and do not have a cache at all.  The first one to return the prime number is given the credit the buddy is not.  Even then you get sent work that has timed out or been returned so you have no chance but that is all part of the fun in finding them.  I went over a year without finding one and then the last two in the same month so who knows what the answer is it is all luck of the draw of work sent to you.

Found one that will go in the book of top 5000 primes    It has 422344 digits and is ranked 2263 out of 5000 for now.  New ones are added regularly.

Great work Dingo, you're on a role!

Does your computer have a four leaved clover and lucky rabbits foot taped to it???  biggrin

[Dingo]

Certainly looks that way but no no good luck charms.  I have found a few Primes in the past but never three in just over two weeks.

Well done again on your prime hunting Dingo, with your kind of luck you should run for PRIME minister.      +1

*LOL*Anyone who can keep a team of few thousand crazy crunchers happy could surely do considerably better than useless pollies we have now, and that goes for the lot of em' at the moment.
