Still, for competing against top-notch programmers, top 100 is quite a feat. I mean, contrast the statistics below (Codex vs Avg. player):
I wouldn’t read too much into this—the challenge was buggy and slow enough that I almost ragequit, and it took me about an hour to start submitting, I expect many people had similarly bad experiences

I had the same experience (50 mins for first problem, as seen in the post). I agree, it is possible that the server issues biased the stats greatly.
I finished at 11:44:16 AM and placed #193, and I didn’t really start until about 10:30AM. The puzzles were not very hard, so I infer that there were not a very large number of contenders.
