This is now underway.
Five hours in and we have got off to a slightly slow start, placing only
7th out of 28. I blame this on it being too early for people to have woken up and emptied their caches.
That said, maybe everyone is concentrating on our other two challenges...

A third of the way through the challenge and we are still solidly stuck in 7th place, though there are now 29 participants. Does that mean we've improved...

Is anyone interested in continuing this constant stream of WCG challenges?
Another has appeared, starting immediately on the end of this, but I'm tempted to ignore it. Comments?

Personally I'm not inclined to give the WCG challenges my all, although I think we should still take part in them - it shows that we are an active part of the Boinc community & there's enough no-hopers in each WCG challenge to make our half-hearted efforts look almost respectable (eg 7th of 26: which is how the current one will end almost regardless of what happens. And which is why I'm going full on for NFS for the next 48 hrs.)

I guess I'll go sign us up then.
For those that are paying attention to this challenge, we have Eighteen Hours remaining! Of course, even tonights 10k upload (my work cache will be complete) will be unlikely to make any difference to the current placings!
