Looking at the team Stats, I see 2 listings:
Rank by "full tests" contribution and
Rank by G-Cems contribution
Question 1 : how are these two related (if indeed they are)
Questtion 2: Why is there no "full tests" listing on the individual team pages?
Sorry to be a bother, but I can't find an explanation in the FAQ or the Forum postings.
Thanks

Well, the relationship is:
When you are testing, you "calculate" cEMs.
That means that you'll get credited the cEMs needed to compute that specific k/n pair.
The bigger the n, the more cEMs it takes to get thru with it.
So you can they that someone with a high test count might have many cEMs, too. But that's not neccessarily the case, as small n's (maybe < 700,000) were smaller than one block (250 M-cEMs), whereas n's near 3M consist of >100 blocks.
So someone with only one test can have more cEMs than another guy with 100 completed tests...
I don't have an answer to question 2, I think Louie integrated this nice feature into the team page without thinking of the individual members page - but I can be wrong...

He said he would like to add it for individuals, but it hasn't happened yet.
I imagine it is on "the list."
Atleast, I think that is what he said when asked about this before (that it was under consideration but not yet implemented).
