Talk:UVA difficulties rates

Is there any reason you removed the discussion? I think the discussion is a useful thing to have. I think the difficulty ratings are a cool thing as well. If you see anything that is inconsistent, (say, solving problem A gives a solution to problem B, but problem B is rated as more difficult than A) then I think that the difficulty should be updated. On the other hand, even though there is no absolute measure of difficulty (for example, I'll have an easier time with graph problems and a more difficult time with geometry problems than other similiarly skilled coders), I believe the numbers are still useful. I think it's nice to be able to say, look for low difficulty problems, in case you are just starting out.
