It is better to have an end to horas than horas without end.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Mersenne prime numbers can be expressed as 2^n - 1.
The 50th known Mersenne was discovered Dec 26 2017.
It is 2^77232917 - 1.
It has more than 23 million digits.
What can you do about it?
Well, Mersenne.org is asking for donations.  And, if you have a reasonably fast PC that you can leave running for a week or two, you can join the hunt for number 51 and get your name in the math history books. See their website:

I'm pretty sure I dropped #51 on the floor and it rolled behind the stove. We'll likely never see it again.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I use #51 as my PayPal password.
Takes a while to type in, but that's good - it stops me buying cr@p on FleaBay.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You realize that you just told the whole world your PP password?!

By the time anyone gets round to typing it in, I'll have swapped to #52 ...

I take for granted that you are not representing the number in base 10, are you?
Such passwords are much better represented in base 7.
Or you may use base 36, i.e. 0-9a-z. Then people won't even suspect that it is a number, and it shortens it down a little bit, too.

Such passwords are better represented in baseball.

Was too busy with my Wife's 50th birthday that day to worry about maths.

"I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you". The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible."

I had no idea that you were just a babe, Mick. Good for her, though - cougar that she is. She scored a good one, so long as your liver can hold on...

Saw this headline in today's NPR feed:
"Meanwhile In Australia, Part Of A Highway Is Literally Melting"
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects! - Lazarus Long
