About 27121 Prime Search
PrimeGrid and 12121 Search collaborated in an effort to find a Mega Prime of the form 121*2^n-1. This is very similar to the 321 Prime Search at k=3.
12121 Search was established on 5/24/2004 to search for large primes of the form 121*2^n-1. Later, they added k=27 to their search. Their "short term" goal is to search for n up to 10M. This goal is going to be achieved shortly, around 2021.
As we did with 321, we are going to test the +1 form of these k's in parallel as well. Therefore, the effort will consist of the following:
121*2^n+1, 121*2^n-1, 27*2^n+1, 27*2^n-1 for n<10M
