IMHO some of those ratings are wildly off, e.g.:
- luhn is definitely more difficult than hello-world, leap, or two-fer
- I've mentored space-age several hundred times. Many students struggle with that exercise because they member functions have to be const-qualified and they have to choose a type that can represent the age in seconds for all tests.
- pangram and isogram are very similar, IMHO they are equally difficult.
(The only thing that makes isogram a little bit tricky is that the description doesn't restrict the characters to ASCII so one has to be careful not to call `std::isalpha()` or `std::tolower()` with a `char`.)
- Are beer-song and food-chain really that complicated? (Frankly, I never understood the appeal of those exercises.)
I'm sure you can easily spot some more discrepancies.
And a more general question: Are the difficulties rated in comparison to each other or do those ratings have some meaning (e.g. 1=for beginners who just wrote their first hello-world, 4=for those who feel comfortable writing classes and functions, 7=complex tasks with multiple requirements)?
