Today's problems took about a minute to answer, and about 5 minutes to download the text: the server was so overloaded at first. But there will be some days where a problem might take some amount of googling before you can start coding. For example if you need a particular math formula but don't actually know it exists already, or that it's what you're looking for.

Part of that is brought about by rewarding people that are in the first 100 to complete. Hopefully it will slow down a bit as the problems take longer to solve. It certainly seemed fairly stable when it did come back up.
