Is that the number of people working on that level, or the number of people who've finished that level? My guess was the former, but if so, how many people have finished level 6? And if it's the latter, how many people have started level 0 but not finished?
I'm also curious what the stats look like for how long people are taking to complete each level.
That's the number of people who received problems on that level. I would guess most of them are not working on these problems (especially Level 0).
For example I got Level 0 set of problems, enjoyed the reading, but decided not to work on these problems, because I'm just not enthusiastic enough about diving deep into cryptography.
I guess most of 4362 "players" on Level 0 are in a similar position.
there are 6 levels. so presumably level 0 is people who started (ie requested) but did not complete level 1.
a level is a day or two of work, in my experience (unless you get stuck and need to sleep on something, or get entertained and go off exploring something), but i doubt most people are doing them full-time, so timing data is going to reflect mostly how busy they were with other things.
Yeah, I've been at level 1 for quite a while, but that's because I haven't had much time available to spend working on it. When I get some time I try to work through one of the problems. Of course, I'm also doing it in Rust, so add in the extra time of learning a new language (especially one still in flux).
