GOAL ACHIEVED

Currently n is 666773. Min n outstanding is 664229. Also, it looks like PPS (LLR) might be clear through 666666 before the Challenge. Another update will be posted once all work below n=666666 has been completed.

Based on Puzzle-Peter's post, looks like Pooh Bear 27 is PrimeGrid's Honorary Soothsayer. Congratulations!

You'll notice now that the HIGH PRIORITY note has been removed from PPS (LLR). This has been over a year undertaking and we wish to thank everyone who contributed to this effort. It is far from over but the threat of PPS (LLR) falling out of the Top 5000 has been put to rest...at least for now. Wink

Once n=670K has been reached, our focus will turn to smaller k ranges and higher n (corresponding to PG's commitment to the Proth Search project). First up will be k<1200 for 820K<n<1M. After that, k<10 will be pushed towards n=5M intermixed with k<10000 from 670K towards 700K. Therefore, WU lengths will vary.

FYI...the validation problem that was occasionally reversing finder/DC'er has been resolved. However, the backlog of primes must manually be reviewed before prime submission can be restarted. We apologize for the delay. NOTE: All backlogged primes for now are still safe from falling out of the Top 5000.
