[Orange Kid]

I'm riding the down elevator and fear the sub-basement will be my next stop. Certainly the flood gates shall open soon?

 

[TennesseeTony]

Indeed, and they have. Nice drops, crashtech and Icecold.

Cellarnoise and wah continue to entertain with their place swapping.

And Mark continues to dominate. Well done Sirs!

But congrats to all.

Time to wean all the computers off of primegrid.
amd good night all !

 

[Skillz]

Technically we took 5th also, but crashtech was giving Ukraine a helping hand this round.

Great work everyone though.

GFN-22, scheduled for December, is suspended as long as no GFN-21 prime is found. Maybe they'll unsuspend it for the challenge regardless.

A GFN-21 prime was found on October 12, and the GFN-22 project was resumed at that time.

 

[Ken g6]

And we're off! I slept in but my computers (mostly) didn't.

Fun fact Tuesday.

This will be the 32nd consecutive win the team has done on Primegrid. We've won 31 in a row so far. Pretty sure the longest running winning streak in any BOINC competition including Primegrid's Challenge Series.

 

[TennesseeTony]

@Ken g6 , we appreciate the stats! As this challenge occurs during 2 Holidays and also 2 Holiday Eves, you will certainly be forgiven if you need to skip an update or 2.

 

[TennesseeTony]

Merry Christmas!

I'll probably just be a little late with some (or most) stats.

I have diverted my power bill budget back to SPACIOUS, as tasks have reappeared there, and I have a goal to be first to 100M. Thanks for the stats! And shame to all of you for not giving (a younger) Mariah Carey a harmless poke this Christmas.

Since years back I've got a browser add-on active which indiscriminately filters @TennesseeTony Santa picture posts, for safe surfing of the AnandTech forum. ;-P

Day 5 stats, halfway!
1_____1,009,958,178___TeAm AnandTech

1B in five days... (At 5d1.75h to be exact.)

Previous 1B milestones in PrimeGrid challenges:
December 2024 challenge at GFN-21: The TeAm missed it with a 0.95B finish.
December 2022 challenge at GFN-21/GFN-22/DYFL: The TeAm reached 1B after 9d6h, finished at 1.23B.

Besides these I haven't found any other 1B+ score by any team at any PG challenge as of yet.
