    Seti Germany's BOINC Pentathlon 2020 edition

    There it is again: The BOINC Pentathlon 2020.
    No doubt we'll soon be hearing more, like

    "Dear Pentathletes,

    5 May 2020, the starting day of the eleventh BOINC Pentathlon, is only a few weeks away. Even in difficult times, SETI.Germany invites all Volunteer Computing enthusiast teams to participate in the five disciplines over two weeks and to gather in front of their computers - everyone in front of their own computer, of course. Maybe some of us will go through a different illness than the Pentathlon fever or spend much of their time keeping important businesses such as healthcare or food supply running. Let's not forget the former and thank the latter by crunching a work unit for all of them!

    While the process and rules remain largely unchanged from last year, a maximum of flexibility is needed for choosing the projects, as maybe one project needs the computing power more urgently than others or a project may be unavailable on short notice. To make the Pentathlon nevertheless as exciting and trouble-free as possible, not only the Marathon project, but all five projects are chosen by a small group of the organizers this year.

    The teams can now sign up until 2 May using this form. We're looking forward to welcoming you again, because:

    It will be exciting again at the BOINC Pentathlon!" -and it always is.

    I am all in favour of the brute force method. As much machines at the running challenge project(s) as possible.

    I am busy running as much (sub)projects as possible outside of challenges, with as consequence that at the moment I have a lot of IberCivis 2 COVID-19 WUs to dispose of.
    Can't really be bothered with bunkering, as I am quite successful with subClanks actually. But do not worry, the pentathlon is 14 days and five projects long...

    Yes, I mean we're back to no.14 now. I think we can actually shoot for top 10 this time.
