I can confirm the <snipped by moderator> but
I don't think it's within the spirit of

Yes, thanks for this comment, Ken. This is especially true when a problem is just a few days old.

I got 69 for n=$10^8$, but the answer for $10^{36}$ was rejected. Can I PM someone for some higher results?
Edit:Solved the problem.
