Single Curio View: (Seek other curios for this number) Suppose you were to take a variant of efdtt.c, a program that will allow you to play a DVD on a computer, and then convert each character in the code to its 7-bit ascii equivalent (the code contains standard characters, so the eight or leading bit is zero). Finally, view this string of bits as a single number. What do you get? This illegal prime! This number was found to be a probable prime by Charles M. Hannum (the original author of efdtt.c) and proven prime by Phil Carmody. [Caldwell]
