Depending on CPU power and preferences (which may override CPU power)
you get factoring, first time LL or double check, Smallest exponents are
given out
first. All exponents which are overdue are added to the list again around 6
AM GMT
These exponents may still be finished by the original owner, this is
relatively unlikely however
(5% chance I would say). In case this happens with a first time check, it
still makes sense to go on then,
and you are credited for a double check.
