Abstract: In a method of incorporating team challenges into viral marketing of a game, an initiator of a team challenge of an online social game is prompted to select a friend of the initiator based on an online social network of the initiator to become a helper of the initiator in completing the team challenge. Based on a detecting of the friend of the initiator agreeing to become the helper of the initiator in completing the team challenge, the helper of the initiator is prompted to select a friend of the helper of the initiator based on an online social network of the helper to become an additional helper of the initiator in completing the team challenge. A completion of the team challenge is detected. A reward is provided to the initiator of the team challenge based on the detecting of the completion of the team challenge.

Abstract: In a method of rewarding players for completing a team challenge, an initiation of a team challenge by a player of an online social game is detected. Based on an online social network of the player, an option for the friend of the player to participate in the team challenge is generated. A completion of the team challenge by the player and the friend of the player is detected. A reward is provided to at least one of the player and the friend of the player based on the detecting of the completion of the team challenge.

Abstract: A control circuit to stop an integrated circuit internal clock includes a signal distribution trace connected to a clock stop pipeline. The signal distribution trace creates a large phase delay signal for a first integrated circuit internal clock cycle which activates the clock stop pipeline, and a small phase delay signal for a final integrated circuit internal clock cycle that deactivates the clock stop pipeline. The clock stop pipeline includes a first circuit component to generate an intermediate stop instruction in response to a clock stop command and the large phase delay signal of the first integrated circuit internal clock cycle. The intermediate stop instruction proceeds through the clock stop pipeline in response to clock cycles following the first clock cycle.
