Yep, I try to ignore the leaderboard. (For example, when I started aoc6, it was about an hour and a quarter after the global start time).
Among other things, the top performers on the global leaderboard include AIs and teams. And the underlying leaderboard mechanism uses a global start time (rather than an individual start time) for a variety of practical reasons which have little to do with individual performance. This is probably a metaphor for something, though I'm not sure what. -- Raul On Tue, Dec 6, 2022 at 4:17 AM 'Michael Day' via Chat <[email protected]> wrote: > > Very easy today, in J at least, and probably in APL & K/Q.
