what figures where these??

I used the league figures, adjusted them for reduced crunching over Christmas, adjusted them some more to add two JayDeee crunchers, and arrived at an output figure. I was about *****% out though.

** - was that an attempt to get me to reveal my calculations, or what?

- suffice to say that I don't think my calculations were accurate enough to win.

I nearly posted the answer to that as well, but caught myself just in time.

My original guess was just over 80/day (League average was in the mid-70's). I now think the actual answer is nearer 90.

Not grasping at straws are we M8.

My true production rate will become obvious in the near future, though I must admit that I am hoping to increase my production again in the next few weeks (I can't let carbon8ed get too complacent)

Bumpski.

Magman, you're crunching too fast!

Could you possibly just, ahem... switch off one or two of your crunchers for a day or two? (I won't tell anyone)

/me hopes for another b0rkeley outage

I vote for a suspension of Augmented's spanky priviledges as he appears to have put a curse on Borkeley, the link is down again.

With a fair wind and a working Brokeley, we should see this comp coming to an end very soon

magman · 10 Feb 2003 at 17:47

Hard luck Augmented, Berkeley now appears to be back up and running.

My total at 17:45 stood at 24980, so only another 20 to go.

Should be soon.

Oh.. that's not good. :eek:

Hmmm, something's not quite right here... I seem to have amassed a nice collection of lengths of fibre optic cable. Wonder where they came from?

magman · 10 Feb 2003 at 20:18

Getting very close to the end now.

As at 20:15 my total is 24993.

Looks like it is down to a choice of two now, Widget and walsherz, and if I don't manage to crunch another 7 WU's by 20:41, walsherz has won it.

This all depends on Berkeley of course (and whether Augmented has his cable shears out again).

Time to wait and see.

There's a funny story in there somewhere, I'll leave it to walsherz as to whether it becomes public or not....
