    As we all know, the abcathome workunits are capped at 1000 credits. Sometimes, a 1000 credit unit takes two times as long as a 900 credit unit.

    So, here is a perfect workunit: granted credit 999.55

      That's about the closest I've seen, I'll have to keep an eye out for a 999.56 ;)

      BTW, Congrats on becoming an ABC Millionaire!

            This workunit again shows the weakness of the system. Normally, granted credit should have been 2,913.90 for this WU, but since the limit is 1k, it got the same credit as a much shorter one.
