Cedar Rapids mathematician C. C. Hunt questions Dr. Samuel I. Krieger of Chicago and the claim of a 155 digit perfect number proving it would take a lifetime. He notes Euclid's formula and explains the ongoing challenge of determining primality for large exponents, asserting the case p equals 257 remains unresolved and suggesting error probability in Krieger's result is high.
