I never looked at it before, but I was cleaning up some data in my database and was looking at the deadline for the projects and I see that LHC@Home uses 13 Days, 21 Hours and 20 Minutes as the deadline length. Of course, CPDN is also odd with 347 Days 5 Hours and 20 minutes. I suppose they just picked a round number of seconds for the creation of the interval ... still, weird! |

If you work it out, 13d21h20m is 20000 minutes. The CPDN deadline is 356000 minutes. Quite why they'd pick those numbers I can't tell you... |
