The new record, and it is exactly twice as large as the previous record.

Oh. What number existed in that spot before they found it?

Will read later. But. There's a big prize for that, right? They're used for encryption.

But then it wouldn’t be prime.

Hook, line, and sinker! Well done, Curtis. This is how you do it!

SN bet that the last digit is odd. Anybody taking even?

I’ll take even. It’s a 50/50 shot right. I’d make it a sn bet, but I think the last name I gave works for you.

Piyo · January 9, 2018, 10:11pm

Will get it tattooed on my penis immediately...at least the first 3 digits or so.

Yeah, a perfect example of how to retcon a failed post into a troll attempt. Making a stupid statement and crowing about it when someone responds is even lower on the joke scale than puns. It’s the text version of “made you look!”

Erroneous!!
