theorem:97%

Theoretical: 60%

Theory: 41%




Theorem made me try lemma: 99% advanced, <1% basic, <1% intermediate.


nice.

A new challenge for HN: Find a pair or series of words that are synonymous but have the largest variance in Advanced readers. Bonus points if you can provide a progression of words from basic to advanced.


"black hole": 57/37/5

"gravitational singularity": 4/7/88


Maybe cheating, but:

"middle step": 18/43/38

"lemma": <1/<1/99


"endofunctor" has the same numbers, and so does "homomorphism".
