In another project, my avg. work done is 4.5, but the work done is 50.9!! ID: 12937 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

What is the difference between 'Work done' and 'Average work done'? The Recent Average Credit (RAC) (shown as "avg. credit" on the projects tab) is sorta like the speedometer on your car. It is the rate at which you go the distance. The "Total credit" is like the odometer, showing the total number of miles ever driven. Since credits aren't as immediate as the speed reading on a car... the method of calculating it is a bit involved. Since you might be off the net for several days and report a pile of results all at once, they take a longer average over time to figure the RAC so you see a pretty steady number there, in spite of day to day variences. There is a detailed discussion of it in the Wiki here. Welcome! Keep crunchin' Rosetta!

I personally imagined it was something like explained, I dont understand why when I was on holiday I had the highest average credit when my computer was off line.
