If anyone is up for a bit of a competition, in 4h (at the time of posting this), PrimeGrid is going to host a 5 day challenge. Basically, each WU of a specific subproject (in this case, The Riesel Problem (TRP)) gives you a set ammount of points - the more you cruncher, the higher your rank. At the end, bonus Boinc points are awarded according to your final rank. Tasks take around 33h on my LGA 775 pentium 2.5ghz, but only around 6h on modern CPUs (the app makes use of the AVX instruction set), so anyone can participate and at least get a rank.

 

Teams also have a ranking, depending on the performance of their members. So hop over and let's get the LTT team to the top of the charts!
