Via @christianp: Simon Plouffe has found a sequence of 565 primes in 'geometric progression' (meaning they're the closest integers to the first 565 terms of a geometric sequence)
Some quotes from past blog posts:

Dave insults mechanics, then gets stroppy about Colin insulting stats
In this month's podcast, @reflectivemaths and I discuss: Colin's book being available to buy
Colin gloats about Spoof My Proof and Dave chews on sour grapes
Colin has laser eye surgery and doesn't care about Dave's health... ... but does care about 20481

Thank you for listening loyally, especially to those who've co-hosted and interacted with us. It's been an entertaining journey.
