L. B. Johnson once said: “I may not know much, but I know chicken sh#t from chicken salad.” And the same goes for mathematical software,  Maple is a good chicken salad.

These two numbers can be used to factor two previously factored RSA Challenge numbers:

I'm curious to see if anyone can identify the numbers and do the factorization. If no one has been able to solve this, I will post the solution context at a future date. There exists some very interesting mathematics behind this question that goes beyond a simple recreational diversion.
