The search is over. A World Record AP26 (Arithmetic Progression of 26 primes) has been found. The finder is <b>Benoãt Perichon</b> <a href="http://www.primegrid.com/show_user.php?userid=19363" rel="nofollow">[AF>HFR>RR] Jim PROFIT</a>) of France. He is a member of the <a href="http://www.primegrid.com/team_display.php?teamid=37" rel="nofollow"> L'Alliance Francophone</a> team. The AP26 progression is written as 43142746595714191+23681770*23#*n for n=0..25. It was found by a PS3 running Linux. For more details on this find, please see this <a href="http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=1246&nowrap=true#22466" rel="nofollow">forum post</a>. Congratulations to <b>everyone</b> who participated in the AP26 Search. It has been a very challenging and rewarding project. Also, a special thanks to all the programmers who ported AP26 making it the most accessible project at PrimeGrid.<br /><br /> Note: there will be no more work once the queue is empty, so we would like to ask people not running for the badges to stop running AP26 subproject and give a chance for others to reach their final levels.
