What happens if you go past the return date with a file? <img src="http://boinc.mundayweb.com/one/stats.php?userID=1052&prj=1&trans=off"> <img src="http://seti.mundayweb.com/stats.php?userID=749&trans=off"> |

You will get credit if credit has not yet been granted. If credit has been granted you will get no credit. |

To follow up... You get credit if either of the following conditions are met: 1) You are one of the first three to return the WU 2) You return the WU within your deadline This ensures that even if you return your WU after the deadline you'll get credit for it if it was used for the quorum. Even if a quorom has been formed, you still get credit if you return your WU within your deadline. <img border="0" src="http://www.boincsynergy.com/images/stats/comb-1140.jpg" /><img border="0" src="http://seti.mundayweb.com/stats.php?userID=768" /> |

The last result has certainly been returned after the deadline (sent on 21 Mar 2005 6:42:40 UTC, which means that the deadline was 28 Mar 2005 6:42:40 UTC, returned on 28 Mar 2005 19:01:07 UTC) but still got credit because it got to be the last in the quorum. > Even if a quorom has been formed, you still get credit if you return your > WU within your deadline. So what happens to this last WU later on? We know it gets credit, and the cruncher is happy, but is it any useful for scientific purposes after the quorum has been formed and canonical result has been chosen? Is it used in later stages of the project for further analysis or just trashed away? |

Of course, if they wished to repeat the test, the WU can be recovered and re-run ... |
