Cullen Prime Search

I ran some Cullen tasks today but they are all waiting to be validated. Is there a problem with the PG validator?

Rytis has been working with the validator...but as far as I know it's running. The Cullen and Woodall WU's have a minimum quorum of 2. Maybe your WU's are waiting for the other result to be returned?

Also note, Cullen's and Woodall's increase in n (n*2^n+1, n*2^n-1) so each new test will take longer than the previous. Cullen's at n=500K take about 10-15 minutes to complete; Woodall's at n=2.5M take about 2.5-4 hours to complete...the time ranges depend on the speed of your computer.

BTW, thanks everyone for helping out. Your support is greatly appreciated! We found the record Woodall within a month of starting the search...hopefully, we can find a record Cullen in the same time frame!

p.s. ignore the status of the validator on the server status page...it's still being run in PerlBOINC.
