Although I do not expect times reported by the BOINC Manager to be completely accurate I do not expect them to be inaccurate and inconsistent.

In particular for Einstein@Home the BOINC manager displays the following figures.

Progress: 18.181%
Elapsed: 2:35:37
Remaining: 22:43:47

These cannot all be correct.

Taking Progress and Elapsed gives a Total time of about 14 hours.
Taking Elapsed plus Remaining gives about 25 hours.

So, which, if any, of these figures is (nearly) correct.
