Quantum Country in-essay question accuracy measures

These are the accuracy % scores of users’ first attempts on Quantum Country questions. These numbers are limited to traces with at least 6 months of data, i.e. to skip non-serious users—though a quick glance at the unconditioned data showed little difference.

Accuracies roughly follow a power law: ~0.461x^0.171 (R^2=0.939)
