Project Euler Forum

My progress towards the next rank seems to be stuck at 100%.


At 55 problems solved, I was at 97%.
56: 100%
57: still 100%

According to the latest news, 44100 members should have ranked status.
According to the Problems Solved page, 53404 people have solved 57 problems or more, and I would need to have solved 63 problems (43804 people have solved 63 problems or more) to be in the 44100 with the most problems solved, so, as I understand it, I shouldn't be there yet.
I suppose the calculation is off.

I haven't achieved ranked status yet, so this seems to be a display issue only.


Excuse my directness. I very much enjoy solving the mathematical problems on this site.
Thank you for your continued dedication, euler.

There can only even be 44100 ranked members. All it means at the moment is that the person ranked 44100 has the same rank score as you (which is why you've hit the 100% point), but they got there sooner. The only way to get into the 44100 is to get past the person in last place. Some, like you, are continuing to solve, but others are static because they haven't solved in a long time. Also, keep in mind that rank score is not the same as problems solved. Unrealistic solves are not counted and there are other factors which we don't publish. Just take your time solving the problems, check out the discussion threads, but above all it's meant to be an enjoyable experience. That is the purpose of Project Euler.

I definitely confused number of problems solved with the rank score. Thank you for the clarification.
