We are doing it in a way that won't scale: George is just going to hustle to make the placements. Codecademy might have a different problem to solve, too: the players we're placing through this level are mostly people with existing skills who like a fun challenge, not players who have gotten there from scratch through the site's content (like all Codecademy users). It'll be a while before we have enough content to take raw beginners to the required skill levels.
