An Ending and a Beginning
This is the End..
Yesterday, the last task in our Fermat Divisor Search was sent out for processing. While there will likely be a few resends available over the next week or two, if you have PPS-DIV selected as your only project, we recommend choosing something else.
This project was very successful, having found two Fermat divisors! Congratulations everyone, and thank you for participating.
Discussion about the Fermat divisor search can be found here: https://www.primegrid.com/forum_forum.php?id=121
..And Also the Beginning
In less than an hour, at 12:00 UTC on Pi Day, our Sier'pi'nski's Birthday Challenge will be starting. This is a 10 day challenge on our Seventeen or Bust (SoB) project.
