FYI, this project has a definitive end. It's not close, so don't panic. Only 2% of the first of two runs is complete so far. But keep this in mind, if you have any particular goals for this project.

Also, shouldn't this project be in the mathematics sub-forum?

I put it in "Other Projects" because the end result is a game, not just a mathematical theorem or anything. That was my logic...

Just a reminder. Currently their web page is indicating the project is 65+% complete. Based on the most recent weeks worth of crunching, the project only has about another 5 months of crunching to complete the confirmation of no 16-clue grids. If you have MM targets to make, you might want to work on this project. Keep in mind, they haven't publicly stated what they plan on doing after this particular task is completed. There was some indication they might do another round. But nothing committed to as of now.

This project is now over 84% complete. If you have a MM you need to get here, should start planning a time to focus on it soon.
