# On Monday I heard on the programme "Science Now", on BBC Radio 4, # about a new algorithm for factorising large numbers using the # properties of "nice primes". I think the algorithm was generated in # Holland, but as I was in the car at the time I wasn't able to give the # item the attention I would have liked. # ... is this just the new Lenstra algorithm that has been discussed # recently in this group? [Rude words about 50% rule] Yep, 'fraid it was the Lenstra algorithm.
