I noticed that the Hall of fame list was updated earlier today, but the first post at https://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/forum_thread.php?id=157 shows that I haven't found any primes yet.
This seems a bit strange since my profile at https://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/show_user.php?userid=3161 says that I've done 54,646 tasks. Those tasks did not include TF credit.
Am I just unlucky, or is it common to test 54000+ candidates and not find any primes?

The small runners are not counted in the list. See FAQ.

I would say somewhat unlucky but probably not that much since there are ALOT of numbers we go thru!! As you can see by my own stats I have probably done ALOT more tasks here than you have but have only found 3 I think. Yes it's fun to find one but to me it's also good to go thru the chaff too.

Its not unlucky to find primes. Not all primes (smaller ones or large bases) are not listed.
