"I really liked running this computation on Charity Engine — we actually did use a planetary-scale computer to settle a longstanding open question whose answer is 42."

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.
The gauge is on 100% once again, so it's time for another Charity Engine Prize Draw!
You know the drill, folks; check your own Jackpot ID and entry numbers here (must be logged in), make sure they're on the official List of Entries here. Any mistakes must be noted within 48 hours, then the List is final and we move on to the draw.
Charity Engine is very proud to be featured as a case study by Innovate UK, the UK's agency for (you guessed it) innovation, on the official UK Govt website.
The winning number was 23250617, but that user was not eligible for the prize and so the $1000 has been donated to Safe Child Africa, a UK-based charity which does fantastic work protecting and supporting children abandoned as 'witches' in Africa.
The gauge is already counting towards the next prize draw, see you next time!
