Look at THIS WU,
where there is one person in progess now though there have been 3 good returns, a -zero credit- return, and 5 failures. Ive seen several with this profile, its alsmot as if they system isnt looking for a set number of good returns, but instead a porportion. Perhaps it grants credit for the WU when say 2/3 of ALL the returns (not just successes) approx agree on credit amt. I have seen several like this that have lead me to this conclusion. Has anyone else?

The goal of Pirates@home is to develop a screensaver for an upcoming project called Einstein@Home (http://www.physics2005.org/events/einsteinathome/) which will look for gravitational waves.
Pirates projects are very basic, the sources of their programs are available for download. They can serve as examples of how to use the BOINC framework to accomplish simple tasks.
And yes, work units are rare (ive had 3 in a month) but for me its not all about credit.
