New PRIME FOUND!

[TC]

Sturle Sunde discovers prime #11!33661•2^7031232+1 is prime! The double checking effort uncovered this new prime showing once again why it is so important to conduct these kinds of re-testing efforts. The large majority of tests completed are eventually verified but some need a 3rd test and others like this one end up being prime. The discoverer, Sturle Sunde is a giant in the prime searching world. He is the #2 overall contributor to SB and also the #4 all-time contributor to GIMPS!

This result was reported at 2:03PM EST, October 13th. We've checked and re-checked the primality several times and have recently submitted it to The Prime Page so the current 10th largest prime [2,116,617 digits] can be recorded and certified.

Sturle is a member of team Busty Seventeen... and actually he hasn't yet been officially notified about the prime because he was out-of-town today when I tried to call him in Oslo, Norway. ;) MORE INFO COMING HERE SOON!! Meanwhile feel free to comment in the forums!
