It's now official on www.primegrid.com. Finally. I've been eagerly waiting for the announcement. It was no surprise that it was a cullen/woodall, had it been a twin we would have been told. So we're still hunting for a twin prime.

I found some!
3 and 5!
5 and 7!
11 and 13!
I suspect you mean the largest known twin primes.

a*(2^a)-1?

right. A Woodall prime is any prime of the form n*2^n-1. ^ has priority over * which has priority over +- so you don't really need any ().

go to http://primes.utm.edu/ and read all about it.

Suppose i should have mentioned that it's twin primes in the form of
2^333333-1 /+1 that we're looking for. Without this information it does not make much sense... And yes, if or i should say when we find one, it will be the largest known so far.

@ haba: Is ? Stephen Kohlman: . . .

edit:
? or maybe: No. 524 - User - 1,523.01 - 0.08

'Owner' - No. 338 - Owner - 215.68 - 10.37 - Canada

OR

'owner' - No. 430 - owner - 22,218.25 - 0.12 - Canada

I think this is the one:

Let's try this one.Which BOINC project is it that is trying to prove the Parallel Postulate?

Thank You haba . . .IT is Much Appreciated

This is it:

On 13 Aug 2007, 1:42:08 UTC, PrimeGrid’s Woodall Prime Search found the 32nd and largest known to date Woodall prime:
2367906*2^2367906-1
The prime is 712818 digits long and enters The Largest Known Primes Database (http://primes.utm.edu/primes/) ranked 1st for Woodall primes and 25th overall.
The discovery was made by Stephen Kohlman of Canada using an Intel C2D 6300 @ 1.86 GHz with 1 GB RAM. This computer took a little over 5 hours and 41 minutes to test. Stephen is a member of Team Canada.

OHHHH Yeah!!!
Canada Kickin' PrimeGrid @$$!!!

So can I call of the search for this guy yet? We have been sending mails like mad!

That's a very long list, I couldn't get to the end of it.

Is that a Woodall Prime? :\\^

Sorry that I was so hard to contact. I was away for work for a couple weeks. Thank you to everyone that helped to contact me.

I feel really lucky that it was me that crunched the workunit. But someone will find a bigger one soon.

Thanks for my 5 minutes of fame.
