My level generator makes a few seeds that are far harder than the rest

A generator promises levels of equal difficulty, but some starting numbers produce a wall. This entry shows how to find those from play logs without being fooled by seeds that only a few people tried, and how to keep one extreme seed from hiding itself.

Why this works

Seeds should be equally hard, so the fair yardstick is what most of their siblings do. Using the middle value instead of the pooled rate stops one very bad seed with many plays from pulling the yardstick down and hiding itself.

When not to use it

Do not use it when the levels are meant to differ, such as a game that grows harder with each seed, or when each seed has only a few plays. Then compare by the difficulty you planned for each, or collect more plays first.
