I just received this invitation by email:
Historically we've not done well with this Challenge, but I've signed us up and I hope anyone interested will crunch those projects that are chosen.hi UK BOINC Team,
once again May is approaching rapidly, once again SETI.Germany invites to the BOINC Pentathlon https://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_pentathlon/start.php.
Starting on 5 May, fourteen days with five disciplines at five projects are on the schedule for the fourteenth time. There are no major rule changes this year, only a slight downward adjustment of the bonus points during the Obstacle Run. Nevertheless, we hope to be a bit more lucky with the stability of the projects and to have one or the other surprise in stock again this year.
Of course, even with the best preparation, sometimes things can go wrong, even though we do our best to make the event run as smoothly as
possible. It should also be noted that some projects see the Pentathlon as a welcome stress test and may even learn more from any problems than
from smooth sailing. The Pentathlon will not be perfect because it cannot be perfect.
But don't let that discourage you from taking up the challenge, dusting off your computers, and signing your teams up on {removed link} (possible until 2 May), because:
It will be exciting again at the BOINC Pentathlon!
