Under 24 hours to the start of the next challenge.

It's a 24 hour challenge, from 18:00 UTC on the 13th to 18:00 UTC on the 14th, using the Prime Sierpinski Sieve project.

See the following thread for details:

The more team members joining in the better, and it's only 24 hours so your current projects won't miss you too much  :D

Off we go then, best of luck to all participating team members.

Any guesses as to where we might finish?

I'll go for the team in 13th and, personally, somewhere between 80th and 90th.

That was quite a start, seems to be a lot more people, generally and from this team, taking part this time.  I might have to revise my guesses ... downwards.  :(

Puts you in your place though.  I worked out that I should, barring problems, get around 7500 points.  The leader is _already_ nearly halfway there!

You're quite right.  

I dusted off my old 750MHz P4 for this challenge; it's the only thing it gets started up for these days.  It will only complete five, maybe six, tasks, but they all count in the end.

75% of the way through the challenge and the team is currently in 20th place.

It should be possible to pick up at least one place, and possibly 3 or 4, so if anyone else would like to join in to give a bit of help then it would be welcome.

The current roll of honour for the team is ...

Not sure who it was, but someone nipped in with a goodly number of credits right at the last moment.  That moved us up to 17th place overall.
