I have a twitter account and am following the Rechenkraft Team on it and they posted this:

OGR-28: 89%
M-Queens: ca. 56%
Siever & ECM: kein Ende in Sicht

So if you need some ecm or Siever tasks to reach a new badge you better get busy. Good News is they have lots of both right now:

Application unsent in progress avg runtime of last 100 results in h (min-max) user in last 24h

Cruncher ogr 5,827 16,681 9.16 (0.91-76.09) 609
ecm 10,619 5,915 4.52 (1.31-35.14) 396
Siever 6,205 16,228 5.08 (2.83-39.24) 208
M Queens 825 3,597 3.42 (0.01-18.14) 275
ecm P2 0 1,658 0.70 (0.31-3.11) 32

So if you need some ecm or Siever tasks to reach a new badge you better get busy

Doesn't it mean the opposite?

I see currently no end in further demands for sieving and trial factorizations. There are many many math projects which have needs for sieving and factorizations

You are correct...after you posted I put "kein Ende in Sicht" into google translate and it came out "no end in sight"!! I thought it meant the 'end is in sight' but was wrong in my assumption!!

mikey, that's okay, we forgive you. :)
I still remember my High School German teacher on the first day of class saying to us: "The English language verb/noun placement is considered backwards to most other languages".

And that's why I took a year of Spanish, it's REAL REALLY easy, and then joined the Navy as a firefighter, plumber, carpenter and welder. Yes I put firefighter first because it's true every Sailor can help but on some people are on the front end of the hose, which in turn led to me being a Fire Fighter for my post Military career. After 6 years I had had enough of hanging off the side of ship in an itty bitty chair with only a 'safety rope' around my waist while steaming along at 15 knots welding safety nets back on so we can give more ships supplies in 2 days. Or even hand cleaning the inside of fuel tanks so they can be welded shut after something ran into us. I was also stationed in Holy Loch, Scotland where we dry docked submarines to repaint then, they were, in the mid 70's, 7 layers of paint thick and ALL of it rolled like you would the walls and ceilings in your home...subs are damn HUGE!!! A very little tiny bit of the sub IS spray painted but it's no bigger than a sheet of plywood and where the sonar stuff is so they have less 'stuff' to get thru. Being a welder in a place that rains EVERY DAY is tough and full of 'shocks' as you try to keep the metal grates you walk on stuck to a metal deck that is 2+ inches underwater!!!

Don't get me wrong I learned a ton of stuff and was able to have a good career as a Fire fighter for a City in Virginia, USA and retire from that with enough money to never have to work again. Working thru the 70's, 80's 90's and early 2000's meant I was to get into investing early and often and the occasional 17% raises helped ALOT!!!

First off THANK YOU mikey for your many years of service in the US Navy and also as city Fire Fighter! BOTH TOUGH JOBS that do not get the recognition and support they so deserve.

Learning German in HS was fairly easy for me. I already had many years to learn to read, write and speak Norwegian (almost) fluently by being around my grandparents, great-grandparents, other relatives and friends of the extended family that originally came from "the old country" who taught me the language.

Thank you! So is German 'similar' enough to Norwegian that at least some words are similar?

Yes. Many words are spelled and sound close enough that it made German class quite easy. Most of the Scandinavian languages are branches of the German language.
