Can humans say the largest prime number before we find the next one?

A group of humans is aiming to recite the 41-million-digit Mersenne prime M136279841 before a larger prime is discovered. To help, claim a chunk of the prime, record yourself saying it (120bpm recommended), and upload the video to YouTube. Faces are optional, creativity encouraged. Mistakes are fine, just correct them. The project is led by Ayliean, Katie Steckles, and Matthew Scroggs, who invite support on their Patreon. The goal? Pointless, nerdy fun. But time is ticking, as Mersenne.org may unveil a bigger prime anytime. Join in and help create an unbroken chain of humans reciting the largest-known prime number.
