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
1 - Get into the Top 10 total
2 - Get into the top 10 in RAC
and the BIGGY...

"600,000 credits? That's not likely" you say! It may not be but it's a damn good target - no one said a target should be easy!
So there you go! You've got 168 hours to blast them there stats!

Everything but Milkyway set to no new tasks, wu's I have other than Mway are between 25 and 40% finished. Should be totally Mway before the evenings out
13 hours in and things have ramped up nicely. We've gone from just under 3,000/hour to around 5,500/hour! Looks like 600,000 might be too easy! I'll leave it at 600,000 for now, but if we hit it would anyone have any objections to setting it higher just to get through the 7 days? It may have to go as high as 850,000!
Day 1
13 hours in...
UK position 1st
World Total Position 11th
World RAC = 14th
Start Total = 14,342,049
Target Credit Total = 14,942,049
Gained so far = 63,681 To get = 536,319

A million? That would really squeeze the pips! Hmmm, well based on just the 10:00 update...
((5,375*157)+63,681) the projected total would be 907,566. To get 1 million the hourly rate would have to increase to an average of 6,410. This is about an extra immediate 25 cores, more cores would be required if we drifted off this target. We currently have, very approximately, about 160 running.
As we've only just started so I'll leave it for now, see where we are on Monday/Tuesday.
15 million should be easily attainable anyway based on recent output.
We've managed to achieve one of our targets all ready - World Top 10 in total! We've also gone up 2 World places in RAC to 12th.
Day 2
UK position 1st
World Total Position 10th UP 1
World RAC = 12th UP 2
Start Total = 14,342,049
Target Credit Total = 14,942,049
Total so far = 14,539,031
Gained so far = 196,982 To get = 403,018
Another day - another target reached! 10th World RAC now reached!
Day 3
UK position 1st
World Total Position 10th UP 1
World RAC = 10th UP 4
Start Total = 14,342,049
Target Credit Total = 14,942,049
Total so far = 14,539,031
Gained so far = 332,649 To get = 267,351

UK position 1st
World Total Position 10th UP 1
World RAC = 9th UP 5
Start Total = 14,342,049
Target Credit Total = 14,942,049
Total so far = 14,760,218
Gained so far = 418,169 To get = 221,187
NEW
Secondary target = 15,000,000 credits.
Tertiary Target = 1,000,000 credits over 7 days.
I wasn't going to put a third target of 1 million in, but ((418,169/3)*7)= 975727 - which is just 24,273 short of the million. It's actually a little less than that as the first day was a bit lower than subsequent days.
So, as long as everyone carries on as they are and we can get a couple more members in we might be able to do it!
Just 30,000 short of primary target! The way things are going I should be able to report both primary and secondary targets reached tomorrow!
I've been watching John's Statsfor this project and it's heartening to see gradual increase in members joining in, and consequently, watch the daily totals surpass the previous days. The way things are going we should be able to hit the million before Friday evening.
Day 4
UK position 1st
World Total Position 10th UP 1
World RAC = 9th UP 5

NEW
Secondary target = 15,000,000 credits.
Tertiary Target = 1,000,000 credits over 7 days.
1 - We hit the primary target.
2 - We blasted through the secondary target of 15,000,000.
3 - We jumped another 2 World RAC places to #7
That's enough to be going on with, so onto the last target of 1,000,000 credits in 7 days!
Day 5
UK position 1st
World Total Position 10th UP 1
World RAC = 7th UP 7
Start Total = 14,342,049
Target Credit Total = 14,942,049
Total so far = 15,086,897
Gained so far = 744,848 To get = 0 - now 144,848 over target!
Secondary target = 15,000,000 credits.
Final Target = 1,000,000 credits over 7 days - 255,152 needed
Watch John's Stats (the 1wk total column) to see how close we are getting.

John's Stats (the 1wk total column) actually show we've achieved the target but this is from Thursday to Thursday - bit of a technicality there!

Oi, technicality indeed
the 1wk total is from midnight friday morning to now, so I reckon we've done it, a day early :thumbup:

Some of us may have started midnight Friday, but the actual start was 8PM Friday when the result of which project to do was officially known, (Anyone know where my 'Jobsworth' hat has gone?! ) but as there's only 22,000 to go it doesn't really matter.

I'll be glad to join in a PG crunch with my lowly 4 cores. Just started doing some of the 64 bit Proth Prime Search sieve W/U but they should be done by then and i'll be free to go for it.
