Well done, stack.

Apart from the links at the top of the projects home page, there's some detail at the BOINCstats website in the challenge section Click on position and compare with other teams or individuals - it draws graphs which are quite interesting.

Hi Stack and anyone else joining the challenge.

Please make sure you select "Woodall prime search" on the PrimeGrid preferences section of your account. Also, deselect the other projects, so that you only get Woodall work units to crunch for the duration of the challenge.
:D

Thanks Warped. I saw your message last friday and changed my prefs. I am crunching Woodall work units now but since I only have one PC I'm probably not going to make any impact at all... :cry:

Not to worry, stack. Every bit helps. I must admit I've had a few workunits bomb out (two after in excess of 24 hrs crunching each).

At least now the team total is not exactly the same as my individual total.

The Challenge is over and it looks like the team finished in a rather solid 35th place. That gets us 2 points on the Challenge Series for the year and therefore onto the leaderboard.

According to the Challenge Series Schedule the next one is a search for Proth Primes and is due to take place during October some time.
