Only 12% of people who attempt this puzzle solve it.

Static text or real statistics?

I received the same stat.

Same here. It's probably a hard coded message. You'd think the hacker news post would skew it a bit if it was realtime. Either that or they have a really massive data set on it that's hard to skew.

That "solved" content is loaded from "static-sites" location [1], so most certainly hard-coded.
