Just prior to the start of the Alan Turing Year Challenge challenge, not one, but two GFN mega primes were found! When all is finalized, these will be the 11th and 12th largest primes found to date and will be the two largest primes found by PrimeGrid. These are each incredible finds! Internal verification of these primes is ongoing, and for primes of this size will take a few days. Stay tuned for the official announcement. There's still more than half of the challenge to go...Let's see if we can make it three (or more)! :)
