    That's good, but having said that I have had a bit of a thought about this and I think the +/- 0.5 stones is probably too tight, and possibly too difficult to get! There is no point in having a mysterious one if there is nobody to notice the mystery! My instinct tells me that there ought to be some small sensible tolerance - the same across all MM targets to keep things simple - and I think it probably ought to be either +/- 10 stones, or perhaps 0.1% of the relevant MM (i.e. plus OR minus 0.1%) if that is easy to do.
    I feel that this way people would see a few more of them and wonder how they got something for reaching 999,001!!! If anything it would probably add to the mystique. What do you think?

    Just thought I'd post something to this again so that it stays alive. I still like this idea.

    Let's call it the SmartyPants then, SuperDuperBok is slightly over the top IMHO, and it gives the opportunity to switch pants -with the SquarePants....

    So this would need to check

    for each project
    (have I got exactly 10k or 25K or 50K or 100K or 500K or 1M etc


    Whilst doable, that's a lot of calculations. But i will try and see

    This might work ?

    Code:
    MariaDB [static]> select cpid,nick,count(*) as mycount from boinc_user where truncate(metric1,0) in (10000,100000,500000,1000000) group by cpid order by mycount desc limit 0,10;
    +----------------------------------+------------+---------+
    | cpid                             | nick       | mycount |
