*** TEN PRIMES *** A search for ten consecutive primes in arithmetic progression *** NEWSLETTER/2 *** *** 2 March 1998 *** *** S U C C E S S !!! *** Manfred Toplic has done it again!! He has found TEN CONSECUTIVE PRIMES IN ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION. The primes are P = 10099697246971424763778665558796984032950932468919004180 3603417758904341703348882159067229719, P + 210, P + 420, P + 630, P + 840, P + 1050, P + 1260, P + 1470, P + 1680 and P + 1890. The project is ended! You may stop your computers! Needless to say I am truly amazed! We are miles ahead of schedule! What luck for Manfred! I was reading about his triumph with nine primes in *The Guardian* on 19th February. Many thanks to all of you for your participation. There will be a proper announcement shortly.
