COMMENTS
The table that I submitted for A195264 (see the second link here) is still actively maintained by me. That includes all unknown-outcome evolutions starting with numbers up to 10000. If you click in that table on the 'unknown' beside the number 20 it will give you the current state of the evolution of the number 20. There was a bottleneck at Alonso20(102) [= A195265(103); we're using offset zero for our evolutions] involving a 62-digit factor, cracked by "Mathew" in MersenneForum on August 13. Sean A. Irvine subsequently extended that to Alonso20(109). The unfactored composite in Alonso20(110) is 178 digits long. I maintain links to sorted lists of unfactored composites at the bottom of the table. If anyone can factor any of these composites, submit the factorization to factordb.com and I will (eventually) find it; a personal heads-up would of course be appreciated. - Hans Havermann, Oct 27 2013
