New Competition

Oh no it may well be the 5th of may!!!!!!!!

Could be! :) TSBT is just 15.5 Million behind OcUK at as I write. So I reckon the contest is between Mike (1/5) and me (5/5).

For it to be anyone else the daily differential between us and OcUK would either have to increase to 1.7mill per day or drop to 970K per day. If it stays at the 1.25M average of the last week then it will be the 3rd of May half way between two guesses. What are the tiebreak arrangments?

In fact I think Mike has a better chance than me as our output is likely to rise, not least as 3 systems I have temporarily decommissioned and packed off to new owners within the team will likely come back on stream in the next few days, making the 2rd more likely than the 3rd.

Hmm, we've slowed down a bit and OcUK have raised their game and with just 3 days of April left we are still 10 million behind OcUK.
Boincstats predict another 11 days til the overtake which would make MacDitch the winner. Ooh isn't it exciting!

The race will soon be run.

According to Boincstats there is just 5.8 million between TSBT & Overclockers UK. The daily gain is a fairly steady 1.2 million per day. This means that, barring some seriously freaky stuff (and of course that's always fun), the comp is between me (4th to 6th May) and MacDitch (7th to 9th May).

Get your sidebets on now!

...the comp is between me (4th to 6th May) and MacDitch (7th to 9th May)...

Of course, the arrival of Philippe/PhilippeD and his half million CPDN points (

) was clearly in your favour, and has completely skewed BoincStats ability to predict the result, but I still think it'll be around the 7th.

Just have to wait and see now.

Yep, it looks very like you hit the nail on the head with the 5th. My only concilation is that BS shows me as having 1,000,042.42 cobblestones - I finally made that pesky million!

Post by **jockmacmad2** » Mon May 04, 2009 11:09 pm

Gratz on the million.

As much as it pains me to say it, I just looked at BoincStats and the rankings currently stand at:

1 - UK BOINC Team . . . . . . . . . . 413,621,423
2 - The Scottish Boinc Team . . . . 302,171,774
3 - OcUK - Overclockers UK . . . . .301,775,896

I guess that means CONGRATULATIONS MEGACRUNCHER - again!

{EDIT} Meant to say, BS's current prediction for us reaching No.1 is 10th of February 2010. :) {/EDIT}
