Does this mean some Wall-Sun-Sun primes have already been found?

344 Views Asked by At

In the PrimeGrid project statistics page for Wall-Sun-Sun Prime Search, it says,

Wall-Sun-Suns ... 2
Near Wall-Sun-Suns ... 208

However, all the internet search results for Wall-Sun-Sun primes seem to state that no such numbers have been found so far. But then again, the search range has nearly doubled since the last public update of March 2014, cited in Wikipedia and other resources. Has the search just gotten successful or am I misinterpreting the table from [1]?

I am very interesting in Wall-Sun-Sun numbers, so I investigate Primegrid forum. Two Wall-Sun-Sun were "discovered" on April 28th and May 3rd, but both are false, because of some "computation error" and "due to an overclock". Anyway, there is no known Wall-Sun-Sun prime.
