Two cruncher s have the same deadline when the WU was issued. Let's say you're late and they are on time. A third cruncher will get then get the WU. Even if you're late but you turn in results before the third cruncher does, you will receive credit. If you turn in your results after the third cruncher has reported in, you get nothing. If you report in before the third cruncher, he still gets credit when he reports in because he will report before his deadline.
