Choose ballast to build q, then launch it. There is no timer and nothing to lose.

A peek inside the number notes
A safe prime is a prime p whose (p − 1) / 2 is also prime. For example, 11 and 23 make a pair: 23 = 2 × 11 + 1. The smaller prime is called a Sophie Germain prime. These little numbers are checked exactly by trial division.
