Is there a way to see how many people have solved a bonus problem?

There is now!

I'm surprised no one else thought to raise that before now. As long as you've unlocked it, if you hover over the tile on the Progress page it will say how many have solved it.

Thanks! Is there a fastest solver table for them as well? I was 28th to solve bonus 6 does that count for the 'name in lights' award?

The only people who know if you've solved a bonus problem is you and your friends. They are not the same as normal problems and don't release for everyone at the same time, so it wouldn't make any sense having a fastest solver if you've had days/weeks ahead of others who are waiting for their luck to land them one. There is an award linked with them though.

Good point I didn't think about that. I'll tell all my friends!

Sorry, I wasn't being flippant. I meant people on your friends list. But why not share it with your friends!? I'm sure they'll be impressed!

No worries I know you weren't, I was joking it's all good. I also meant it genuinely that I hadn't realised a fastest solvers table and the award would be unfair as bonus problem aren't revealed to everyone at the same time. Hard to tell what people mean when it's text only!
