I have done 4 WU's so far and received credit as

107.29
101.49
106.57
106.70

Yet my listed RAC is shown as 36 and so I was curious as to how you are calculating the RAC?

I believe that the answer to that is in the BOINC Wiki (link after my sig) or someplace at http://boinc.ssl.berkeley.edu.

It does not make any sense that a RAC of 36 should be given when ALL four completed WU's are in excess of 100 (or does it?)

RAC is heavily dependant on time. The simple analogy is RAC is like a car's speedometer and total credit is like the odometer.
