I am one of them. APL/J/K is stated as my preferred language overall,
but I used Python for some problems including #117 (for no particular
reason here though).

As I understand the stats system, only the overall preference is taken
in account. Given that I have solved 100% of the problems, this counts
in favor of APL/J/K even if I have used Python (and even C) for some.

As Roger explained, the problem is in users who solved only a few
problems. I will send a mail to the organizer to suggest that only
scores greater than a fixed limit (e.g., 20%) are taken in account.
