Brief update on the current challenges:

Primegrid Despite averaging 115K per day (at least a 10,000% improvement over our productivity 2 weeks ago! 8) ) we have been pushed into 5th place by PrimeSearchTeam, one of the PG big boys, who joined late and aided by the sudden upload of lots of cached completed units immediatley went second.

Boinc@Poland also joined late and, from a standing start, powered past us. Still 5th of 17 is respectable.

CPDN We are doing a little better here 4th of 15. :)

9th (out of 34) for WCG - (Ends: 01:00 (BST) 28-Sep)

In fact 8th, and valliantly holding position by the skin of our teeth.

The toaster's got evens from the bookie that we manage to hold this.

And "quote" works, that's just made my day complete now :)

I'm very pleased with the "quote". I wonder how many quotes it can nest?

Good work with the 8th/34 for WCG. Pretty good for a project we've all but given up on!

Well done & thanks MacD: This may be one of our longest running threads. I'm locking it now and am off to follow all the new threads you've set up in the Throw Down The Gauntlet Sub-Forum..




BTW 10 is quite enough for nested quotes. The prize is the satisfaction of being the last to post. Attempts to break this record will only be accepted if they arise naturally & necessarily in the course of real discussion and are not contrived purely for record breaking purposes.
