The Scottish Boinc Team

Megacruncher · Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2008 1:01 am Post subject: Top 50 Competition.

Listen up TSBT dudes.

[Edit: "Dudes" should be read as a friendly term encompassing those of all genders or none Smile

.]

We are overdue a competition and with a major landmark looming it seems apposite to set the following questions:

a. On what date shall we become world #50?
b. Who will be displaced so we can claim this honour?

The prize goes contrary to TSBT tradition in that it might expand your intellect rather than reduce it Laughing

: an Amazon gift voucher for £15/$25.

The Rules
Boincstats and I shall arbitrate the result.
My decision, however self interested, is final.
You can amend your guesses up until 15th November.
You have to be an active member of TSBT to enter.

So I shall venture the first guess:
24th November displacing Hungary.

Ok, I've finally had a proper look and decided that I'd stick with the 23rd - then noticed that Reeltime claimed this in the second post in this thread!!

Mostly to make sure I haven't tried to poach someone else, here's a list of what we've got so far...

22nd passing Hungary - MacDitch
23rd passing Hungary - Reeltime
24th passing Hungary - Megacruncher
25th passing ???????? - Buster Gunn (Hungary I presume, but maybe he knows something. )
26th passing Hungary - Utopia-i

Lots of options left if anyone else wants a shot at the cash.....
