Do any of the "big time" DC'ers participate heavily enough in all or nearly all of the major DC projects to come close to winning the "Decathlon" of DC?

I went through the stats for the projects listed here and am guessing you would need somewhere near the following to be crowned the all around DC champ


SETI = 1000
RC5 = 100,000
DF = 100,000,000
Eccp109 = 100,000
F@H = 1000
G@H = 100,000
D2OL = 5,000
TSC = 5,000
UBERO = 100,000
UD/THINK = 100,000
GIMPS P90 years = 1000


do these "levels" look about right ? of course they are all arbitrary :rolleyes:

i guess a decathlon is supposed to be just ten events, which one of these is the "most dead" and could be eliminated ?

has any team ever tried a decathlon gauntlet? where the gauntlet participants had to produce at several projects at once?

hmmm... i can qualify in 5 of the 11 already, and i haven't run any of the other projects listed... :)

anybody else care to comment?

some of these levels are quite low for the "old timers" , in SETI and/or RC5 perhaps?

"GIMPS P90 years = 1000 "

I recommend dropping a 0 of this listing, with almost 50ghz of cruncing power running prime I have 200LL years for a full year of work!

If I had 50ghz of durons I could get the eccp total in less then 50 days, DF in less then 30 days, but would have to wait 5+ years for prime! :cry:

ok, so for the last one (can't edit the original post)



GIMPS P90 years = 100


thanks

And 100 years in GIMPS is no joke either... :crazy:

(These smilies kill me!)

But if any of you should decide to take this challenge, TPR is here for you... :thumbs:
