    who would win the "decathlon" of DCing?

    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

    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?

    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!

    GIMPS P90 years = 100

    thanks

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

    (These smilies kill me!)

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