The Scottish Boinc Team

Megacruncher · Posted: Sat Dec 24, 2011 12:59 am Post subject: 2011 Total Competition

Goodness me! We've not had a competition since the last one! Smile

And that was in March. Sad

So the rather obvious one what I've come up with is a guess the total credits for TSBT at 23:00 on 31st December 2011 as recorded by Temujin's most excellent stats.

Rules
1.Guesses should be to the nearest 100K.
2.Any activated registered member can enter and has one guess which they can revise as often as they want.
3.Obviously you can't duplicate an earlier guess unless that particular guess has been released by someone updating their guess.
4. In the event of any dispute my decision, however perverse, arbitary, alcohol fuelled or self serving it may be, is final.
5. The prize is a £20 Amazon e-voucher.

Right, you know where you stand, so can I kick off proceedings with the following guess:

Megacruncher ... 4,522.3 Million
