Our first large CC find!
Of note, this is the first large Collatz Conjecture find for MathIsFun_ and for the team as a whole, as well as the first result on the Collatz Conjecture project.
On December 21, 2020, 18:45:48 UTC, user MathIsFun_ found that 9,082,675,433,425,187,400,475 takes 2304 steps to reach 1.
Note from finder: This was only my first CC WU, so it was insanely lucky for me to find a result this large so quickly! To compare, people with dozens of tasks haven’t found CC results this large.
Edit: Changed color from yellow to gold for title since it was more visible.

Our first TF found!
Of note, this is the first factor of a Mersenne number found for founder MathIsFun_ and for the team as a whole, as well as the first result on SRBase.
On December 22, 2020, 17:33:25 UTC, user MathIsFun_ found that 5,192,943,702,021,990,034,577 is a factor of M295025561 (2^295,025,561 - 1)

In this thread, we will display finds we have found on other projects besides PrimeGrid. (GIMPS, SRBase, Collatz, Amicable, etc.)

Edit: the guy auto aborts his tasks 24 hours before expiration. I didn’t check, but now the new oldest WU is slightly later than mine. And, the other WU finished about an hour before mine since it was aborted earlier.
I’m gonna go reenable WWs now.

Does this user also have other tasks likely going unfinished earlier than yours? If so, there could be many similar tasks between the oldest WU and your WU, making it unlikely that yours will be the oldest.
The thing about both my WU and the oldest one is that they had a task that timed out before receiving a new task that was assigned, which is really rare for WWs. It’s impossible to see this user’s in progress tasks but it’s likely a bunch were assigned within only a few hours, including likely hundreds before these two WUs and after them. Earlier WUs will on average complete earlier, but it all depends on whether or not the next task takes 10 minutes, 10 hours, or gets timed out.

Speaking of badge milestones, after my next PSP gets verified, I will get a silver Prime Sierpinski badge.

It was created 7 Dec 2020 | 18:59:01 UTC, a little over 22 hours after the original. With that short difference, it’s very likely that this WU is the runner-up for longest ongoing task. Here is what makes this (semi) likely:
Both WUs have an in-progress task by the user Cocagne, who seems to have given their computer an extra 1600-1700 WW tasks that it won’t be able to complete before the deadline.
These tasks both expire on December 23 at around 3:47 PM EST for the longest ongoing WU and 4:56 PM for my WU. That gives a little over an hour’s difference between when the tasks will expire.
What can happen in an hour? It took about 10 minutes in both cases for these tasks to be assigned to Cocagne after a previous user timed out, so it would likely take that long again. Then, some fast GPUs can run a WW in well under an hour, so by the time my WU gets a new task the other WU could be complete, likely giving my WU the title of oldest unfinished WU.
Now, this is assuming that both WUs get fast GPU tasks that report the results quickly. If, say, it only happens to my WU, the old WU will still be the oldest unfinished.
All I know is, at ~4 PM on December 23 I’ll be checking constantly for the results!

No, I think I’ll be the guy who DCs an AP24 randomly and gets annoyed that it isn’t an AP27 or AP28.

If this task, https://www.primegrid.com/result.php?resultid=1156236872, becomes the oldest outgoing WW workunit, even for a short time, I will literally turn back on WWs, even for CPUs. Because with that WW luck (even if it is an odd kind), I’ll find the next special instance!
