Boincstats Amicable Numbers challenge 30/05 - 06/06

This section is where you can post topics related to Challenges from other websites, such as Formula-BOINC, SETI-Germany and BOINCstats, as well as project challenges such as from WCG, PrimeGrid et al.

As a Team, we really want to engage as many team members with these challenges, as this gives us a great way of attracting more members to our Team...plus we get to show our strengths as a Team by (hopefully) doing well in each one.

PS: I have moved lots of topics into this section where they are relevant...as you can see, we've always been happy to take part in Challenges...and long may that continue ;-)

Boincstats Amicable Numbers challenge 30/05 - 06/06

Post by Woodles »

Hi All,

Just a heads up, another of the innumerable Boincstats challenges has started and since it's the only project that I'm doing at the moment and I planned for about a week of crunching then I'm in :D

Check here viewtopic.php?f=94&t=6404 for hints and issues found during the previous FB sprint on Amicable Numbers.

UBT currently in fourth place after sixteen hours - https://boincstats.com/en/stats/challen ... /chat/1057

Hi All,

After nineteen hours it's obvious that we're not going to catch SUSA but we're closing in quickly on Italy and Australia aren't too far ahead either, we may end up second! :o

Hi all

UBT is still in 2nd place and currently consolidating this position.

Here's a chart of the 2nd-5th placed teams:

and this shows the members (of all teams) who are/have contributed:

There's still 5 days and a few hours until the end of this Challenge (on 6th June at 14:45pm UTC). :-)

Mumps works for a company that provides cloud servers to other companies (bit like Amazon but smaller) and he's allowed to use what servers they have spare. I don't think I can compete with that :-D

Hi All,

With a seven million point lead, Australia taking five days to crunch seven million points and only 1 and a bit days left, I shall be taking my systems offline tonight to prepare for tomorrows FB sprint.

I think we've done enough for a guaranteed second place and both Dave and myself have hit our intended targets.

Well done to those that took part.
