Strange, I have an inconclusive result that lasts for months.
Is it because it has not yet been checked against other machines ?

23 May 2015

Spikes count is quite impressive I would say:

Spike count: 18
Autocorr count: 1
Pulse count: 3
Triplet count: 0
Gaussian count: 1

Since you didn't specify the actual task in question I can only guess that it might be one of these two from May.

Tasks will stay pending/inconclusive until there are at least 2 matching results or enough errors to mark the wu as bad. It it not uncommon to have tasks waiting for 6+ months.

The number of spikes in a result doesn't indicate anything in itself.
