There are a couple of different possible reasons. I can't tell which as you have your computers hidden.

1) You are waiting for the other person to report the work.
2) The other person has not reported work and his is late. You are now waiting for a replacement to be completed.
3) You and the other person do not agree on the results. You are now waiting for another copy to determine which is correct. There are tthree possible outcomes for the comparison. A - All three still disagree - there will be another result sent out to see if a consensus can be formed. B - All three are weakly similar - all three get credit. C - Two are storngly similar and the third is not similar - Two will get credit and the third will not.

If you find that your results are not validating on a regular basis (the other has reported, and there is still no consensus) then you likiely have a problem with your computer. Otherwise, it is just the way the program works.
