[seqfan] Re: Software for searching for Wolstenholme primes?

[David Wilson]

My guess would be probably not.

If there were an efficient way to evaluate binomial coefficient 
residues, then would be an efficient way to evaluate factorial (I 
think), and we would all be using Wilson's theorem an efficient 
deterministic primality test.
