More news on how the prizes will be awarded. There are two Lego prize packs of $60AUD (~40 Euros or ~56 USD, thanks to pschoefer for the conversions) that can be delivered anywhere in the world. The Lego is of the winner's choice - what would you choose if you won? If I was eligible to win I'd totally be getting this: http://shop.lego.com/en-AU/Iron-Man-Malibu-Mansion-Attack-76007 (mainly because I want the Iron Man figurine!) ____________ Member of theSkyNet team.

If its not to much work for; after Pentathlon, i would be curious about all the main-importand statistics, that happened, because of/during the pentathlon: The TFLOPs-Peak (atm 100TFLOPs :) ) How many new Crunchers and PCs How many Achievements (via theskynet.org) How many galaxies and so on... ;)

The first statistic is easy; The Peak of POGS was reached at last day of pentathlon #5. According to graph on theskynet.org it was 105.47TFLOPs, around 17:00 on 18th March 2014. ;)

I can give you and even better graph than that. This graph shows the TFLOPS calculated directly from the credits awarded, which responds much faster the RAC. Alex PS more stats too come. ____________ Cheers Alex theSkyNet.org webMaster ICRAR

A very interesting graph. Because POGS was the marathon-discipline u can figure out, when: -the bunkers where opened (the beginning); -the main part of crunchers switched to the other disciplines and get back to POGS the last two days. My personal stats (for a new registered participant here): 100k creds during the pentathlon and 40trophys. Yeah. I have to come back after Primegrid-Challenge, to get more of them. :)

Hi rilian, Alex's other thread describes what was achieved during the pentathlon - heaps of scientific results (5,000 galaxies were processed!) ____________ Member of theSkyNet team.
