Feature suggestion - rating problems

[deanhirsch]

I wanted to suggest a new feature: rating a problem. For example, on the scale of 1 star to 5 stars. Rating not for difficulty, but for beauty / satisfcation / enjoyment of the solvers.

What I imagine is a feature that allows users to rate a problem only if they have solved it, and the rating is publicly available. Then, when searching for a new problem to solve, I can try to focus on the problems I'm more likely to enjoy. It will probably be correlated to the topic and difficulty of the problem, but I don't imagine this harming the usefulness of the feature.

At this point, there are so many problems on the website, I often find myself on the nontrivial task of hunting for a new problem I'm likely to enjoy. I think this feature can help with that.

With more then 800 problems, I feel that features which would make new user have a better experience with project euler are even more important. The "Tags" feature being one, and I think that problem rating might also be helpfull.

I could not agree more with these two replies. Some problems have a different feel than others and it can be challenging to know if a problem is going to be enjoyable before devoting time to solving it.
