Is KWSN doing the Pentathlon this year? I'm not sure exactly which project is the first one, is "Help Conquer Cancer" on of the World Grid projects?

It's weird, overlapping projects and coinciding with the PG Challenge. Plus, they still haven't named the 5th discipline's name or timeframe? Confused

Didn't think they did last year either... Not sure how to compare them this year for project switches. Last year it was easy, milkyway and collatz were both on there, which left 2 GPU projects. The first project, not sure how it stacks up, WCG though I know is near the bottom for credit grants / hour or /work unit. Rosseta is low crediting but was there last year also.

BTW, the overlapping projects is meant to add an extra level of complexity to the challenge, as people try to figure out what will give a better result. Not all projects give the same credit return per time crunching for them however. Too bad primaboinca isn't one of the projects, that'd give good turn out #ni-1
