The value of n is still unknown, but new results constrain it to fall between 8 and 10^500, ruling out popular 'n=1' and 'n=2' theories.

Close, but it's actually 5 and the biggest German newspaper covered it a decade ago. Also: I feel old now.

To be clear for non-Germans: "Der Postillon" is a satire-newspaper and only calls itself "The biggest German daily newspaper of the World". 😅

Edit: typo dayly > daily

I'm not even sure they call themself that but they have "honest news, independent, fast since 1845" and they "report before they investigate", that's how fast they are. They are the equivalent of The Onion I would say

It's what they say, when you google them, but it's probably not their real slogan, you're right.

And yes, I would agree that they are the equivalent of The Onion.
