We’re taking part in the annual #GCHQChristmasChallenge on Wednesday 11 December. Students will be set the task of cracking seven fiendish puzzles and then using their answers to uncover a hidden message. You can have a go at home too! GCHQ Christmas Challenge 2024.pdf
2¹³⁶²⁷⁹⁸⁴¹−1, discovered today, is the largest known prime. It's a Mersenne prime (2ᵖ-1), which are easier to find.
It took nearly 6 years for the GIMPS software to find it after the previous largest known prime. It was also the first Mersenne prime found using GPUs.
Congratulations to each of our “Best in Year” students for their performance in the Senior Maths Challenge. Marcus, Zurina, Fraser, Sebastian. @KGS1561@UKMathsTrust
