Superb work!

Back on land for a little while so will try to mount some form of a challenge despite the death of my cruncher 2000 miles away. Not what I had planned that's for sure. Had been eying up top 10 perhaps, oh well. do the best I can with a laptop.

Post by **Megacruncher** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 1:12 am

2 days in & we are way out in front!

I'm third with realistic hopes of going 2nd. 8)

Our lead is starting to look unassailable! Well done everybody

Janos (retired) · Post by **Janos (retired)** » Fri Feb 22, 2013 3:49 am

I am only top because ThrasherX-17 stopped crunching less than a day in to the crunch and has not yet returned.

ThrasherX-17 wrote:Why everyone is sleeping not chatting and crunching? I need to move to Enigma for some time. I'll be back! Keep on crunching!

I expect he will be back on the last day and will zip past us at a dramatic rate of knots, just because he can.

Two days left to go everyone. Seems I just don't have enough cores left to catch that pesky penguin

Offer him several "light refreshments" and you will soon saunter past

1 day to go..... I'm looking in the rear view mirror, crunch on everyone.

Me too!

Team-wise it looks pretty much all clear. If we haven"t won I'll give Â£20 to anyone who posts a prediction otherwise before the close of play ( if you are wrong I want a tenner.)

Individually ThasherX-whatever might well force me into 3rd. I can handle that.

Well, what can I say? I hoped this would not be the case.

Post by **Megacruncher** » Mon Feb 25, 2013 10:42 am

He's overtaken me

but with just 14 hours left to go is still 26K behind you. You should be able to hold him off. Go for it!

Janos (retired) · Post by **Janos (retired)** » Mon Feb 25, 2013 11:41 am

I certainly won't be slowing down. I have found 3 more cores to add but he is catching me at a crazy rate. I doubt I will last more than 6 hours at top spot, let alone 12.

He certainly is pouring on the coals but you might hold out... 8)

I've snagged 11th which i'm desperately trying to hold onto. Have the guys behind me got a large offline cache to suddenly report ?

PinkPenguin · Post by **PinkPenguin** » Mon Feb 25, 2013 12:29 pm

He hasn't hit Mach 14.5 yet and, hopefully, he's already fired his third stage and is on the way down...

By my calculations if Janos keeps his average at current levels he should make no.1 by 3.000 - 5.000 sponduliks. At least that's my bet... 8)

So here's a bit of encouragement:

Have you checked the basement and behind the sofa for an extra core or two ?

I have! I have my wee netbook (2 core) and my better halves laptop (2 core) crunching away. :)

I think the Penguin might be right. :)

I am throwing everything I have at it and have managed to improve my hourly rate a fair bit (but to the detriment of everything else). The rate he is gaining is still impressive but I should be able to keep ahead, unless he hits the turbo.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Mon Feb 25, 2013 5:06 pm

Only 7 1/2 hours left, hud her chappin loon !!!

Janos (retired) · Post by **Janos (retired)** » Mon Feb 25, 2013 5:07 pm

It is going to be close... very close.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Mon Feb 25, 2013 5:17 pm

If I had a working i7 you could have 'borrowed' it for a few hours... pity the damn thing is dead.

It looks like he increased his rate a few hours ago when the sums showed he was taking home silver.

Janos (retired) · Post by **Janos (retired)** » Mon Feb 25, 2013 6:08 pm

He has upped his pace yet again. He must have quite some set up at home (or office). So it looks like I am taking home the silver. Mega will be taking home the bronze.

We have done superbly well as a team and we are well over double the next team.

:wav:

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Mon Feb 25, 2013 8:26 pm

4 hrs to go, you might still just make it.....it will be very close.

PinkPenguin · Post by **PinkPenguin** » Mon Feb 25, 2013 8:59 pm

Yep, definitely most devious tactics... er, now might be a good time to hit the button on that toaster and see if the Raspberry Pi has been evenly browned on both sides!

Post by **Megacruncher** » Mon Feb 25, 2013 10:35 pm

2 hours to go and the lead is down to less than 3K!

Keep going. Don't give up.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:05 am

Janos overtaken with only 30 mins to go

Post by **Megacruncher** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:07 am

Arrrggghhhh!

25 minutes to go and ThrasherX-17 has taken the lead. Go on this is the time to upload that shed full of completed WUs you have been saving up! Hopefully.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:11 am

Reeltime might just steal 20th as well.....

Post by **Reeltime** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:25 am

Grr, hadnt realised I'd gone and downloaded a shedload of enigma units yesterday. Didn't mean to do that...

So close.......never mind next time.
and next time i'll get that penguin

Still 1st place for the team and a big boost for our score bringing us to 18th and 10 points in the formula boinc.

Janos (retired) · Post by **Janos (retired)** » Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:43 am

Superb effort guys!

We set a long running team challenge, open to all and advertised on the fmah forums. We won by well over double the next team.

Congratulations!

And I think it went unmentioned at the time, but a few days ago we passed 1,000,000 credits for the project. :wav:
