The Scottish Boinc Team

Okay, we have just over 3 million to go, so I'm going to place my final guess. I reckon that we will hit the mark later this morning at 7 o'clock.
I must say it's gone a bit quiet so either you have all forgotten about this, or more likely you are all lurking silently staying up all night and I am the first to blink.
Anyhow the result will be clear by breakfast time.

Since it's tuesday and my guess should be valid ..... 14th may 0500 Should I be wrong, then Megacruncher at 7 am will be the 2nd place guess thingy that ... oh what ever I'm still confused. Going to sit in a quiet corner again. eh blink, blink

On a brief and somewhat unfocused examination of TJ's graphs I do, hereby, officially declare that Mega was quite right and the aforementioned target was reached sometime between 4:00 am and 5:00 am this morning...

Whereupon, wherewithal and whatsoever I am constrained to declare that d***ed caribbean pirate, alezevo1, the winner with a finely executed reverse shunt at the last minute... the which had most of us fooled! The winner will receive a £20 Amazon voucher (no, I am not sober! - and no, it is not enough to get you another GPU worth speaking of unless it fell off the back of a truck in Guangdong!)

(I am only somewhat mollified by the discovery that, according to Wikipedia, some 21% of anguillan exports are alcoholic beverages which is a positive incentive for my new startup in ice cube exports... )

With a beautifully elegant Fosbury Flop at the finish line the official runner-up is Megacruncher who wins a £10 Amazon voucher.

Will the winners please PM me with their eMail addresses and I will forward said prizes over the weekend.

:wav: :wav:

Hurrah!
Under the rules I get a prize for loosing and for spotting the winner. Can't say more perverse than that!

Yarr, victory for the pirate more booty for me locker

However I am an honorable pirate I support both the RNLI and the RAF Benevolent Fund and would ask that rather than giving me a prize , donate my winnings to one of these 2 charities or Help for Heroes.

On a completely different note, an analysis of my drinks cupboard indicates that 21% of the Anguillian alcohol exports end up fueling my forum posts
Mojito time !!!!

Tough choice... A € 25 donation has been posted to the RNLI today who have said "Thanks" which, I believe, extends itself to the team on account of "honourable piracy being somewhat contagious". 8)

Thank you very much for starting this competition and for fronting the prizes. I'm sure the RNLI will make good use of your generosity.
