Yes, reminds me of Pinball machines.
The early ones i've seen had a maximum possible score of around 9,999
The last one i played on had a maximum possible score of 99,999,999.

A billion! Time to fix the cobblestone bug! An RAC of 1,000 is nice but a real RAC would be better!

That's impressive work by all crunchers. Now if we could just recruit BlueGene/L to do some crunching for us...I figure it could crank out 5-10 million per day. That could improve some team's numbers quite nicely!
