    Got my very 1st prime!!!

    Woohooo!!!

    After months of PRP'ing on the Sierpinski Base 5 project I found a prime! And it's my 1st prime ever!
    Verified and archived on the Top 5000 primes list, direct entrance to #280, with 379,234 digits!

    Congratulations NeoGen!

    You are a Titan.
    "A titan, as defined by Samuel Yates, is anyone who has found a titanic prime."

    You deserve it.

    At ~#280 it will be in the top5000 for a very long time.
    Well done.

    All my friends at work were astonished.

    Not much... I think it's somewhere between 1 and 2 hours for a PRP test on this project...
