#1 PrimeGrid PRPNet September Challenge

Post by Newshound »


Factorial Equinox Challenge

The equinoxes are the only times when the solar terminator (the "edge" between night and day) is perpendicular to the equator. As a result, the northern and southern hemispheres are equally illuminated. The Latinate names vernal equinox (spring) and autumnal equinox (fall) are often used. To celebrate we're running a PRPNet challenge at the FPS (factorial prime search) from 22nd 18:00 UTC until 27th of September 18:00 UTC.
To take part, you have to activate the following line in prpclient.ini:
server=FPS:100:1:prpnet.primegrid.com:12002
Stats will be available at the well known place here.
All previous PRPNet challenge stats can be found here.
Discussion and more information can be found here: 2017 PRPNet September Challenge.

Good luck!
