There is a new folder blowing past just about everyone"elena"! Started on Tuesday and already have well over 4M points. Anyone know who or what Elena is? A secret new quantum super? A code name for skynet?

Something is weird in his/her client list ... I guess it's time to sent Agent Smith to investigate in the Matrix :mrgreen:

In fact, the oddity is in the return time of the WUs from this user ... I see dozen WUs returned at the exact same time ... I wonder how it is possible :?

It seems loads of people from all over the world are donating her some of their work as a get well/thinking of you gesture.
Have seen the posts asking for support but not asking for work units, however folders are sending support anyway in that special folding currency.

I think you're looking at the times when the stats update, not the times when the WUs actually are uploaded. I think they're collected over a 2 hour period and then they all get added to the stats at the same time.

Yes, I know, but he didn't say whether he meant the exact time of crediting or exact same time of uploading, did he?
