Following on from finding the probability distribution for the 321 search http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=3781 I thought it would be interesting to find them for 27121.
Prime lists given by http://www.rieselprime.de/:

121*2^n+1: 8, 12, 44, 84, 96, 228, 264, 320, 732, 788, 1808, 7928, 12264, 37784, 59196, 91112, 112208, 168716, 251184, 264632, 272052, 513020, 636564, 674360
By sorting the ratio of prime finds, graphing the distributions by giving each an equal weight and finding lines of best fit, got the following equations:
27*2^n-1: 1-16.777*e^(-2.832*X), where X = last prime * n
27*2^n+1: 1-9.399*e^(-2.225*X)
121*2^n-1: 1-3.538*e^(-1.242*X)
121*2^n+1: 1-3.327*e^(-1.241*X)

The last one needs special mention. Currently searching at 7.4x the last prime find. It is not unusual for a k to start misbehaving. What can once be a prime gusher can become relatively dry.
For example on the Riesel side, k <= 121 it is joining k = 7, 13, 23, 29, 37, 39, 43, 47, 51, 67, 71, 73, 79, 89, 95, 97, 101, 103, 109, 113, 119 in having such a high ratio.
Note: these are just statistics and do not refer to prime number theory.
