Most difficult assignment in the course?

I got this popup message after completing the assignment and am wondering if anyone knows where it comes from.

Granted, I did spend longer on this than the previous 4 assignments, but it was kinda my fault for not doing a couple simple things and spending way too much time tracking them down, to finally do a :man_facepalming: when I figured it out.

And granted, this assignment is kind of a mess with the set/list inconsistency/back-and-forth, but it didn’t seem that bad in theory. Any thoughts?

My guess is it has something to do with a lot of people signing up for the course, but not doing any of the assignments, or people watch the first week then drop out. I’ve seen this pop up on a lot of Coursera courses for the first week’s assignment. Unfortunately, I’m not privy to the underlying metric though.

I’d just chug along like a boss though and pretend you just owned the hardest assignment :slight_smile:
