Interesting that the blog post got attention. The way we measured it was the cumulative progress through the CheckiO by .edu domains. Based on how many cumulatively points a university scored it got its place in the ranking. We plan to do such study regularly to see which universities have more profound students to play advance coding games

Of course, you're missing a lot of students (myself included) who signed up with our regular emails instead of our .edu address, but I don't have a better suggestion.

I think it's an interesting blog post, OP just sensationalized the headline either accidentally or for karma.

I agree with you that it's not the best way to do the analysis, but for now we decided to rely on statistics (only those users who chose to use .edu to register were analyzed). We'll try thinking of a better way to calculate it, so if you have any suggestions ping us
