If participating, please note that there is a fifteen minutes gap between the end of the current WCG challenge (ends 01:00 BST tonight) and the start of this challenge (starts 01:15 BST tonight).

That said, 18.5 hours until the start!

A position which we still hold with nearly 50hrs passed.

Some of our success may ironically be due to the fact that pursuing NFS & other challenges during the last week left some of us (or it could be just me :D ) with loads of half chewed WCG WUs to be hastily finished off.

I'm not complaining. I have ~45 units outstanding to get my Gold Badge, which should hopefully be uploaded before the end of this challenge also.

Yup, I'd like a gold badge for the Clean Water project before we finish with this. I think a combination of pending credit and queued WUs should be enough to do it.

More than half way through we are still a strong, dare I say, unassailable, 4th so I think I'll ease off and do some work for the Einstein, RNA & Rosetta challenges.

Well. Mega got his Gold Water badge, and I should get mine with tonights upload. :)

Challenge has approx. 17.5 hours to go, finishing just after midnight. We are currenlty 400k adrift from third place :shock: and 80k clear of fifth & sixth places.
