Starting from the top: Current leader is Sukkubus run by Ingo Bauer, which seems to be the most powerful single computer in the project finnishing off sub problems in 3 minutes occasionally. Number to is a collection of computers run by Aaron Gordon, suffered heavily from the break this morning and not able to finnish any problems for most of the day, but now he is back, as strong as ever. Having several powerful computers he is likely to overtake Sukkubus during the night. Third is Joost_Buijs (real name unknown). My guess from log info is hinting towards 3 very powerful computers dealing easily with the sub problems. This guy will probably be heading for second place soon. Fourth (rather surprisingly) is my programming computer, not the fastest computer on the block but actually got a 10 problem head start and also didn't suffer from the internet break down here (running on LAN). I guess this computer will slide down in after a while. Fifth is Erik Robertsson suffering from the server break and from one other unknown break this computer seems to slightly faster then my programming computer, we will find out in a day or two if he will pass my programming comp. This poor computer have also completed the largest problem so far a monster of 1,072786406278E+12 nodes. Sixth are my office computers, one doing 24/7 but without the hardware to be among the top players, and of course my little portable that will join during the night to possibly help the stats a little bit. My poor office computer get a pat on the back for dealing with the second and third largest problems so far. Number seven is Slate (guess is that Slater Wold is running this computer), a single computer doing quite well considering a late join and a long break this day. Might eventually climb a few places if working undisturbed. Number eight is estakako, run by Jaime Benito de Valle Ruiz, this computer got an unlucky start with very little hash but is now doing several problem every hour, gets the price for best improvement ;) Number nine is sorgenkind, unknown by my, trailing estakako closely. Joined late but now keeping a steady pace. Number ten is megamau who only finnished a single problem (a double) before the break, I hope this computer will be back soon to show what it can do. Of course there are many not on the top list I hope some of them will start turning in more problems soon. All in all there are 10 active participants that has calculated a problem, I hope that more will join. With this pace the problem will likely take around two weeks, a better estimate will be possible tomorrow. Thanx for all joining this project, it seems to go on just fine now... I'll be back tomorrow with another "current standings and trends". /Regards Albert
