Ooh, that's really interesting. And given how many folks here talk about dropping out as it gets harder, that suggests the later problems look easier than they are.
- Jtsummers 5y agoThe weekday problems tend to be easier so you get a ramp up, but with drops in difficulty. A lot of people give up after one or two of the hard days and don't continue, but there's no actual requirement to do them in order. If they'd skip the hard ones they'd probably find several more solvable (for them) problems remaining in the year.
- pedrosorio 5y agoThese plots only include the first 100 people. Those dropping out as it gets harder were unlikely to be be represented in the top 100 for later problems either way.
