Perseid Shower Challenge starting on 12 Aug 2013 18:00 UTC
The night sky can offer some wonderful sights, like distant stars and planets, the milkyway but also meteor showers. The Perseids are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle. Just like the star dust falling from the sky creating a good show, we'll hopefully be seeing candidates falling in similar fashion during the Perseid Shower Challenge on the Riesel Problem Sieve subproject. If you want to participate, please join us between 12 Aug 2013 18:00 UTC and end 14 Aug 2013 18:00 UTC.For questions, banter, information you can go to this thread in our forums (http://www.primegrid.com/forum_thread.php?id=5145&nowrap=true#67891).Please do spread the word and join the fun!

"This is the first sieve challenge since we adopted the new credit system, so the rules need to change just a little bit.
Some sieve tasks now require double checking, so there will be a cleanup phase for this challenge as we wait for some of the tasks to validate against the results from other computers." - Michael Goetz
