Prime Numbers: Competition






Chasing the largest primes is an incredible adventure... 


Watch Lucas 


The program he mentioned, the underdog one, is something similar to what SETI used to do: An acquaintance of mine  frequently helped them calculate things. 


SETI used people's computers - private people's computers - to study the signals somehow. 


They multiplied their power of calculation by much each time someone volunteered, and offered them their computer, as my acquaintance, RDO, did a few times.
