robinhouston on Nostr: I found out the exponent of the new Mersenne prime before it’s been officially ...
I found out the exponent of the new Mersenne prime before it’s been officially announced, and I feel as though I’m in possession of a deep, dark secret.
I hope I’m not giving too much away if I remark that in base 10 it has a number of digits that is a multiple of 80, which means it scrolls very neatly down a standard-width terminal.
