Next Friday is the last day to get your entries in for Greensboro. So, what do you think the attendance will be (of swimmers, that is)? Closest guess gets a :chug: or :wine: from me. Or, for those Forumites who would rather pass on that offer (I am well aware of who you are...), bragging rights. By the way, I still owe Patrick (PWB) for winning last time!
My guess, since this is 2012: 2012 :D
Or Mersenne prime?
Well that would depend on which one I pick. The little ones (3, 7, 31, and 127) aren't very interesting for Omaha purposes. The next Mersenne after 127 is 8191, which is still over 1000 times less than 8675309. (Side note: where else can you go for calculations involving those two numbers? Nowhere, baby!) The largest known Mersenne prime is 2^43112609 – 1, which is unfathomably huge and may therefore suit my needs. :)
