Right; given the distances in front of and behind SUSA in the sprint, it'd make sense for them to funnel some into RKN to keep LAF down in points.

Day two a bit early as nice weather has forced me to go outside. :)
In 2nd and slowly pulling away from SETI.USA so for now things are looking good.:D
The fight between 5th and 6th is a real seesaw battle, who will win out?
Continue ciphering like mad crunchers, I'm going to go get a sunburn.:eek:

As far as I can tell, there are 9 8 teams in league 1 who are sprinting.* This time, 7 of them made it into the top ten.

So, it's plausible that OcUK get one or another sprint point awarded by accident, now and then.

*) edit: the TeAm, SUSA, CNT, UBT, LAF, RKN, OCN, P3DN, USA

edit 2: On second look, probably not USA. Only a single user of them had increased output coinciding with the sprint. Not exactly team work, if not mere accident.

Yeah it kind of surprised all of us as well, but he is working on upgrading his systems so those GPUs can have full lanes for projects that need the bandwidth. He recently upgraded all the systems with i7s because the Celeron and Pentium CPUs he had in them before were a huge bottleneck.

Nonetheless, I'm still rooting for them to wake up from deep slumber and having good fight again with all of FB teams for evermore.

Silver in League One, am I dreaming?
Good job everyone. Now I know how Force India Team felt when their driver got podium this Sunday after long podium drought.

Four hours until the FB Sprint is supposed to be announced. I wonder what it will be? Is anyone thinking of participating?

Well, if it's not something they can work on, we're in close races in the FB Marathon in both Enigma and Milkyway. I'm trying to keep up with the Francophones in Milkyway, but with my 7990 having died, it's not really happening...

That sucks about the 7990. Ive been conservative the last month waiting on the Pent, ill probably get crunching more when its over, temp permitting.

Moo Wrapper....ugh. The pentathlon just turned into a hexathlon.
I'm the one who posted in the shoutbox that I'd like more GPU projects in the Pentathlon. Be careful what you wish for, I guess. :rolleyes:
