Mr. Arnold claims to be able to factor or prove the primality of any
number regardless of the size of the number....

if Mr. Arnold can do such a thing, why not have him select a Mersenne
prime on the order of 2^400000-1.  such a number could be verified in
a few days with the help of a Cyber 205 and FFT's.  put his money on
the number i say...
