How to identify the lowest number NOT found on Google.

Blimey, Google works fast round your way :wink:

BTW I’m glad my 1104… hunch proved worthwhile!

I’m getting 8 hits on 11046726 now. Still no hits on 15343955, however.

I’ve just got a hit on 15343955!

No matches when I try it.

Colophon, I think glee might be whooshing you.

Does the script consider commas, European-style decimals used where commas would be in North America, or ISO-style spaces?

I had started it over at 1000000, expecting to leave it for a looong time, and for some reason it just stopped on Sept 21. My shell automatically logged out, so I can’t tell what number it was at, unfortunately. I started it over and am logging the results to a file this time.

This really is a futile exercise. It could very well be that all the numbers found so far will be gone by the time my script goes that high.

(and to answer elmwood’s question, no, it is only searching for raw numbers with no punctuation)

ntucker, your email address isn’t listed. Could you email me some time? I have a few questions I’d rather not throw out on the board.

Thanks.
