The "top x%" in kaggle competition can be a bit misleading, many competitors just download some data and make 1 or 2 simple submissions, putting in couple of hours of work. Near the top of rankings when deadlines loom, many are working full time (at least if the prize money is good enough), or if the prize money is high, you will have teams of people working full time..
