Riecoin Breaks World Record For Largest Prime Sextuplet, Twice

Posted by timothy on Thursday November 27, 2014 @07:12AM from the well-the-sextuplet-was-just-sitting-there dept.

An anonymous reader writes Last week, Riecoin – a project that doubles as decentralized virtual currency and a distributed computing system — quietly broke the record for the largest prime number sextuplet. This happened on November 17, 2014 at 19:50 GMT and the calculation took only 70 minutes using the massive distributed computing power of its network. This week the feat was outdone and the project beat its own record on November 24, 2014 at 20:28 GMT achieving numbers 654 digits long, 21 more than its previous record.

You learn something new every day! I always thought 'sextuplets' were what you called nymphomaniac twin sisters!

  Sex is 6.
  You're wrong, though: I had sex with them more than six times! *drum hit*
  
  Thanks for being my 'straight man', friend! :-)
