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

Winter Solstice Challenge
----------------------------------
18 Dec 2009 17:47 UTC – 21 Dec 2009 17:47 UTC
A heads-up for the last challenge of the year! We'll be crunching AP 26 wu's for three days.
UBT are in 18th position overall, let's see if we can gain a few places on the last challenge!

Let's see if we can have a good challenge to finish the year.
We're currently 18th and need 12.5 points more than Duke University to gain a place.

The Winter Solstice Challenge
2009-12-18 04:47 UTC
Only 13 hours remain till the Winter Solstice Challenge. The pre-fires have a nice red glow, and we're expecting them to turn a deep blue once the Challenge begins. Who knows...by the end of the Challenge they may even become white hot.
Please come join us in a Winter Festival that is sure warm you up. The top spots for the 2009 Challenge Series are up for grabs.
A 3 day (72 hour) Challenge is being offered on PrimeGrid's AP26 Project. Builds are available for Mac, Linux, Windows, Solaris, Cell/BE Linux (Playstation 3), and for the first time, GPU-CUDA23 app. For more information on how to join, please see this forum thread.

Looks like we were looking in the wrong direction :?
I doubt if we can overtake Duke now, and SETI USA are certain to overtake both of us (and a lot more).
