Dear EFF:

Zero is a digit, right? Therefore:

• First 100 million digit prime number: 2 with 99,999,999 zeroes before it.

• First 1 billion digit prime number: 2 with 999,999,999 zeroes before it.

Checkmate, math. :MOULE_Silly:

Screenshot of the EFF's Cooperative Computing Awards page, reading:

"The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the first civil liberties group dedicated to protecting the health and growth of the Internet, is sponsoring cooperative computing awards, with over half a million dollars in prize money, to encourage ordinary Internet users to contribute to solving huge scientific problems.

Through the EFF Cooperative Computing Awards, EFF will confer prizes of:

$50,000 to the first individual or group who discovers a prime number with at least 1,000,000 decimal digits (awarded Apr. 6, 2000)
$100,000 to the first individual or group who discovers a prime number with at least 10,000,000 decimal digits (awarded Oct. 22, 2009)"

(I drew a red rectangle around the next two points)

"$150,000 to the first individual or group who discovers a prime number with at least 100,000,000 decimal digits
$250,000 to the first individual or group who discovers a prime number with at least 1,000,000,000 decimal digits"
