I put this here instead of cafe because it is more about statistics than the game itself. I usually play 1 or 2 relaxed games of soduko at night before I go to bed. My times are usually between 55% and 65% are faster than me.

```
My question is does this reflect more the average time of each game played rather than the times of the general population who play. For instance if a few very fast players play a very high frequency of games it seems it would throw off the average players speed. Not sure how they rate this.
