but my score is good? Also I have a good 17 wu's less than all the guys a head of me whats up???? :eek:

It's pretty simple really, the folding WUs have gradually been getting bigger and therefore take longer to fold and give more points per WU so that people who have only just started folding have a bigger number of points for the same total of WUs than veterans of the project. You can therefore use the ratio of points to WUs folded of individual users to get a rough impression of how long they have been folding for.

For this reason you can't really use number of WUs folded as an estimate of an individuals contribution to the project (unlike SETI where WUs are more or less like points are in folding)
