Bloody hell. Just had distributed computing questions on University Challenge. Including Folding@home. They got it right as well. :cool:

What was/were the question(s)?

I missed the first one. I thought they said SETI@home, but then I thought they said BitTorrent, and the two don't compute. Think they got it wrong though so may have been SETI and BOINC or somesuch.

The second one was asking what the Folding@home project researched.

Third was something about GIMPS.
