Maths joke

Stolen from burr86 via an IRC convo pasted in opal1159's journal.

The newest largest prime number was announced today.

They said it was four times as big as the previous record.

For some reason, that amused me muchly.

I'm assuming it was not precisely 4 times as big...as it would then obviously not be a prime number. :)

Ha! That's a good one.

I'm terribly dense and didn't see the subject line. Oops.
