5th Annual BOINC Pentathlon

[shiva]

just so you know JPM, I will probably will just run the marathon. I just have too much going on, like a trip to SC for a graduation on the 17th. I hope I can help a little on some GPU but we will have to wait and see.

Thank you Shiva. That'll be a big help

I may be in the same boat as Shiva, we head back to CO on the 4th so I will only have internet access in the evenings.

The Pentathlon overall stats can be found here: http://www.seti-germany.de/boinc_pen...n.php?&lang=en
30 Teams are signed up. Which teams will win these three medals?

[John P. Myers]

Those of you who believe that the organisers might make it easier for the teams in view of the special anniversary, will be mistaken. Once again, the gods demand sweat, ruined graphic cards, unstable power packs and high electricity costs ahead of the triumph. Once again, teams are facing hard times and only those who sail close to the wind will in the end bring home victory. But Poseidon warns: there will be lots of headwind and high waves, masts will snap, crunch machines fall overboard and here and there, teams will lose their bearings; hopefully, none will come ashore near the Cyclops.

You will surely ask yourselves: Who will be able to prevent P3D achieve a hattrick? Will SETI.USA succeed in claiming overall victory at last? Will Team China win their first medal this year?

Dun dun dunnnnn
