Ever since I joined PG I have come across nothing but the best, whenever I think- "I guess this is it" PG proves me wrong all the time.
Coming to the new "Initiative" I would say tht PG has gone by its trait by keeping it open sourced(wherein users can post questions). I guess this is the best way to maintain a repository of questions which can be accessed at any time of the day.

PS.-> one suggestion from my side however, I couldnt see the link to this on the homepage anywhere...i guess it shud be highlighted on the homepage...
On offence meant just a suggestion


One again a gggggreat initiative

1. Stars above the question are related to the difficulty level of the question. As in Easy question, medium, difficult..sorry could not think of more creative answer

2. Chess pieces signify the degree of importance associated with a particular topic..ok guess not cos Quant has only pawns...hmm then it may be based on the total number of questions...or maybe if the number of stars are more in a particular topic it means maximum good quality questions are present there and accordingly it takes image of pawn, rook, queen etc.

Hi Puys,

thanx for this awesome gift.U really rock.

1)Just one suggestion it would be great if we could have a countdown timer for every question.
It would help in improving the problem solving ability under time constraint.

This thing was really needed on PG,thanx a tonnnnn^infinity.

in retrospect i think, if everybody starts solving problems at "PG prep" then who will spam the threads.

Mods, Plz do something

There are no right or wrong answers here - we just want to see if our thinking matches yours.

Please post!
1 Difficulty level of the question in increasing order of the stars
2 How popular is the topic , king being most popular

These are my take

A question that i attempted , how many puys attempted BUT left the question ( will help in identifying difficult questions/question that involved new concept)


Life is hard to all , it is hardest to those who are not hard to life.

Wouldn't accuracy be a better judge of difficulty of the question? Some people might just be randomly browsing questions without an intention to answer.
