What is a Rating? #33

Open chrisrosner opened 2 months ago

I know what ELO is... but how are the problems compared with one another? What makes one higher ranked than another?

Might make sense to explain this in the readme.

It is just the same metric as your own account contest rating. A higher rating means a difficult problem.

Just consider a problem P to be a same entity as a human competitor H: solving a problem means H > P, otherwise H < P.
