A challange that is too easy is not a worthy challenge.
Worthy competitors make for worthy challenges.
Congratulations DPC for being a worthy competitor.
Now that te DPC team has reached #1, it will be interesting to note what effect this will have on their relatively young RC5 team's burnout rate, compared to the relatively older, more experienced (ie, been there done that) Team Anandtech.
It seems that it has been RC5's history that becoming King of the Heap is far easier than remaining King of the Heap.
OK, all of you stats addicted: I would like to see a list of all of the teams that have been ranked #1 overall (RC5), together with how many days they remained as #1.
Here are the #1 overall RC5 teams that I am aware of in order of ascension, but I don't know their duration as #1. This stat might make a good motivating addition to the TeamAnandTech.com website.
