Oops, nearly missed this one.

Megacruncher, can you pop over to here and enter us? If you do it before midday I think we will start with everyone else... Worst case is we'll be a half-day/day late.

I entered us. Just a little bit late.

Despite the late start we are already 50th of 127 entered teams. Promising, considering the headstart that everyone else had.

44th of 129 now. Not exactly stellar but heading towards respectability.

Our momentum continues to carry us forward, sort of: up to 43rd of 129 entrants now. 2 days to go.

We might be able to creep up a bit yet, I only joined in yesterday

Sure enough - up another place to a lofty 42nd. :)

Into the last 18 hours now and we are (unsurprisingly!) still in 42nd, 200k shy of 41st....

One last day of effort. CHARGE!

Oops! Meant to come back and post where we finished...

Anyway, the final scores are in and we didn't quite manage 250+k in less than a day

so finished where we were, in 42nd place. Out of 129 who enterred. :)

Top ten (and highlights) follow:

1 Team 2ch 164,167,180
2 SETI.Germany 24,672,914
3 L'Alliance Francophone 18,904,669
4 Czech National Team 16,180,337
5 Team China 12,470,336
6 France 9,809,072
7 BOINC.Italy 9,277,728
8 BOINC@Poland 8,560,424
9 boinc.at 8,402,700
10 Ukraine 8,199,146
...SNIP...
41 Meisterkuehler.de Team 1,064,156
42 The Scottish Boinc Team 827,187
43 piotrekjw 647,336
...SNIP...

I think we can be quite happy with this as we were over a day late starting a six day challenge, and this is hardly one of our strong projects.
