Third time’s a charm: just weeks after cracking an elusive problem involving the number 42, mathematicians have found a solution to an even harder problem for the number 3.
We never heard back from the winner of the December prize draw, so that $1000 prize has been donated to CARE International, specifically towards the Nepal earthquake, and match-funded by another £500.
Please remember; if you win a prize, email is the only way we can contact you!
As seen in HPCwire and International Science Grid This Week, we are giving away four million core-hours of computing to the most worthwhile projects that contact us before midnight Feb 17th!
