So I was looking over the registration class for the day I joined and I saw this entry as number 1 for that day...

1) Name - Fernando de Carvalho Date First Registered - Tue Jun 11 18:46:06 2002 Date Last Result Received - Sun Jul 28 20:31:51 2002 Results received - 4998 Total CPU time - 138 hr 49 min Average CPU time per work unit - 0 hr 01 min 39.9 sec Country - Portugal.

Per this guy's stats he's averaging a WU everyone 1 min 40secs, I'd love to know what he's running for a PC :D

I've noticed quite a number of these including some from my registration class back in 1999 and a few other places. I do know if one possible way this might work but I would not think it could produce that many units in that short time (the major drawback to the idea). Course I could be wrong about the volume involved. :/ Even so, while the idea I came up with might not technically be against the rules (as written) it certainly would not be very sporting to say the least!

PS - Don't even ask!
