EDIT - Oooops , I just looked through the list of finders and I beat you all to it being the first to find a result, yea me

Yeah, but I found THIS one!

Very pretty ...

Early morning of 15 December 2017 with 2 hours and 22 minutes difference, project server received two results for workunit R9_000478253 - from damotbe (L'Alliance Francophone) and Bryan (SETI.USA). Both files are identical (as it must be for correct results) and contain an 8 squares. Many of computation results contain 8 and even more squares, but is this case only first two of them corresponds to usual pair of ODLS, but other 6 squares... were mutually orthogonal! (And, of course, all of this squares were constructed by rows permutation!)

We get a first of squares from this MODLS set and found all (not only "permutation") orthogonal diagonal Latin squares for it, then - all ODLS for "root square" and the squares, found on the previous step, and repeat this process until while we were given a new squares. The results of this search you can see in figure below.

Squares, presented in this graph as nodes and edges denote an orthogonal relationship between squares, lined up into astonishing, symmetrical figure! The core of it is fastened by six MODLS, which are broken into three groups. Each group (originating from two squares) is the basis for four-level branch constructed from 14 squares.

If you are interested in this, you can download this set of 48 squares..

WCG MCM 20 year badge

That is a seriously impressive set of WCG badges you are racking up. Well done indeed.

Congratulations, you've earned a Diamond 20 Year badge ...

Nice. Those 20 year badges are worth crowing about.

Now I was busy on PrimeGrid CPU projects for a while and have a bunch of new badges. Here's the highlights...

SOB LLR 500K gold
Generalized Cullen Woodall Sieve 1 mil amethyst
AP27 1 mil amethyst
GFN 10 mil jade

All the 100k silver badges are new and I have enough pending for Cullen LLR and Woodall LLR to go 100k silver.

They'll make you a Prime Cruncher, one of these days...

It's such a long term effort on WCG. It would be possible to simply do no other Boinc project but WCG and still struggle to rise up the leaderboard. Pity there are no WCG projects with support for GPU's any more.

WCG Smash Childhood Cancer 50 year diamond badge

On to Zika

Yoyo siever 2 mil grandmaster badge

And there's my WCG 50 year Zika badge

You seem to have some serious crunching hardware involved. What line of work are you in?

Yafu now got badges too (see the tip of my 'blade')

Not exactly a badge but I'm dead chuffed to make into the top 50 https://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/user ... 0/115657/0

[mention]davidBAM[/mention] Well done you. Won't be long before you are in the 9 digit club. You adding up those WUProp stars yet ? .... it gets addictive, you have been warned

[mention]Dirk Broer[/mention] I just noticed I've got shiny new Yafu badges to

Alez wrote: ↑Tue Oct 16, 2018 1:23 amWell done you

Thank you Sir. At what point might I expect to start being accused of manipulating results by deranged Belgians?

I'll need to look into WUProp stars, I have no idea what they are

ETA : Well that was easy enough. WUProp now gathering information

Anybody discovered yet that his/her DrugDiscovery@Home badge has gone south, together with the project?

Does that maybe explain the -96,976,362 on Cruncher Pete's daily total? https://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/user ... f1ecdf/#45

I'm guessing at the point when you should be able to claim a special badge for dealing with completely bonkers lunatics Alternatively, join us on the next FB competition for Anguillian Pirates and if you crunch a single point I'm sure you will be eligible to join the special ' blackmail' list, posted with proeve. ( There will be screenshots, with timestamps etc. )

Cruncher Petes stats will be dropping to realign with his Captain kidd stats

Might just do that. Apart from anything else, I've never before been invited to be a Pirate so it would be churlish to decline.

Soon you will have to start displaying the badges below your sig , not that it's bragging or anything

Oh, and into the top 30 for the team as well

First time over 1M points per day on WCG - that is according to WCG website and is clearly in WCG points

1M per day in boinc points may be some time in coming

First day over 20M boinc points too - and I find [mention]jockmacmad2[/mention] beats me

500M cross-project points for me

thank you, Collatz

WTG David ... 1/2 billionaire. CONGRATS

Woo hoo - #9 https://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/user ... ff1ecdf/#9

Looks like upward progress gets harder from here though

Congratulations on making the top 10 but really you need badges for serious bragging .....

I am much too modest and demure to resort to that ... [goes off to look to see if his badges are any more impressive now] Truth is, I couldn't even tell you where my University Degree certificate is as it was never that important to me. I really should find it now though as a 40yr old Computer Science degree is probably a museum piece

Earned my WCG MIPS 20 year badge during this comp...

I earned another WCG 20 year badge recently also but can't remember which one

I'm done! No more WCG for a while.

- we'll miss you, will give a holler for any challenges / sprints

I also met a few personal goals before my self-imposed New Year's deadline:

• 10M cross-project points on WCG
• 1 billion total credits on BoincStats - actually did 1 billion in the last 2 months of the year
• into top 1000 users on BoincStats

And of course the TSBT team romped home in the Christmas Elves challenge - must remember to put out a Captain's message to thank everyone

Didn't quite make it into BoincStats overall top 750 within 5 months BUT I did creep into top 20 on daily credits #18 on https://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/user/list/12/0/0 (yes, I know Collatz is the main reason)

Question though : looking at 1, 2 and 6 on that link, how can anyone do 600 million credits on their first or second DAY?

It doesn't look like they actually earned credits. It looks like a stats anomaly or glitch. Maybe they changed email address on their projects.

Yippee - into the top 500 on Boincstats total credits within 6 months of starting https://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/user/list/0/400#498
