- n4r9 2y agoI don't envy you the task! You've probably thought about it a lot more than me, but I was wondering if you could add a "very hard" or "advanced" category. Or perhaps users could submit difficulty ratings as a percentage and you take the average.
- viveknathani_ 2y agoyou are right, user-submitted content can help too. but that would imply a difficulty setting based on all users who have participated instead of a globally agreeable difficulty value. if the smart ones find a hard problem to be easy and they are the only ones to attempt that problem, that problem would be marked as easy. on the "very hard"/"advanced" bit, feedback taken. thank you for writing your thoughts!
- ajkjk 2y agoI feel like the obvious answer is to let people vote on it, like an upvotes/downvotes system.
