Unrealistic run times
Hi,

I've just joined two days ago to support the OpenPandemics project, and I've dedicated an old 8-core laptop to run 24/7. I've just checked my stats, and it says I have contributed two YEARS of run time. No matter how you slice it, running eight tasks in parallel for a few days does not even amount to one month. I don't think that this could be a bug, given how established BOINC is. So I'm curious, are run times multiplied by some factor to incentivize people to support COVID-19 research?

Re: Unrealistic run times
Ah, I guess the labeling is missing a ":ms" at the end:
Total Run Time (y:d:h:m:s) 0:002:01:54:42
should probably be
Total Run Time (y:d:h:m:s:ms) 0:002:01:54:42

Re: Unrealistic run times
No, everything is alright.

Your stats say 2 days, 1 hour, 54 minutes, 42 seconds

Please note that only those tasks that have been validated count towards this statistic. There are probably some more tasks pending and waiting for validation by another user.

You might wanna check out Quora (https://www.quora.com/), they are proof that there are in fact stupid questions, they even pay people to post those... devilish
