In this work we used computer computations to check whether the Penrose polynomial of a binary delta-matroid becomes simpler after the projection of the matroid onto the subspace of primitive elements in the Hopf algebra of binary delta-matroids. Computer computations for even binary delta-matroids of orders 1 —— 5 didn't show any simplification. So we may assume that there is no such a simplification for any binary delta-matroid.
