And we're off!
The good news is that after just 12hrs we have already an awesome 159K credits and are sitting in 4th place. :)
The bad news is that 4th = last.

Thanks Steve, a timely rescue if there ever was one.... Team China has just dumped over 100K in their first 4 hours.... Not a lot by Aqua standards but enough to overtake us. Hopefully that was their cache but I wouldn't count on it.

Steve's rescue may have been timely, but the Chinese were determined.
We've slumped (?) into seventh place out of 12 teams, 9 of which have actually recorded scores....
Ah well, nearly four and a half days to go yet so anything could happen. :)

We've got our work cut out for this one. The problem is that it's only a handfull of the bigger teams who have entered. Five of the "participating" teams have yet to locate a dictionary and find out the meaning of the P word.
This leaves us looking not so good even though our output has been quite awesome and has done wonders for our Boinc combined total.
Anyway were it not for this challenge then there would be no current BS challenges so we should be proud to have inaugurated it.
