Welcome to the 233rd Carnival of Mathematics! Who can forget 233, the 6th Fibonacci prime? Hey, not all numbers are interesting. Don't ask me about the smallest positive uninteresting number. You can't make it interesting with your feeble mind tricks! Anyway, on to the fun. Provers and Shakers The big discovery this month was a new largest known prime number, $2^{136279841} - 1$, as reported by the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search.
