I've just started out today solving the problems, going to start # 9 after this.
Some things to consider beforehand :
It is mentioned in that the program should take no longer than 1 minute to complete the calculations.
As time goes by more and more users will complete the problems.
Users use different languages to solve each problem.
So here are some stats that would be interesting to see :
- Time of completion
- When you submit a problem there should be a box where you can also submit the total time of computation in seconds. Of course this goes by honor, but since the user did get the correct answer I would hope there is no point in cheating the time. This would allow stats on the average time it took to solve the problem.
- It would also be nice to see the ratio of what languages solved each problem. Some people might use different languages for different problems, so in the profile you could set up a list of languages that you use in order and wen you submit an answer you select from a drop-down list the language you used out of the ones you specified in your profile.
Combining both would give cool results, average time for language x. This could also lessen the impact of timing on a language basis.
With the current stats already presented, these should not be too hard to add on.
Cheers,
