Managed to get my 250 and 90% this week and am now rattling through a unit
every 4/5 hours following my system upgrade. Noticed on the stats page this
morning that I am one of 1000 people to have done 284 units. Nothing
spectacular I know, but interesting enough.

Your group info:
You do not currently belong to a group.
You are not currently the founder of any teams.

Your rank: (based on current workunits received)

Your rank out of 4585342 total users is:  445437th place.
The number of users who have this rank:  1000
You have completed more work units than  90.264% of our users.

That number 1000 bounces around by the second as the ones who have
just completed 284 enter this position and the ones who have just
completed 285 exit. As the days go by and you advance through the
ranks the number of users who have exactly the same number of results
as you will shrink, but will bounce as it does so.
