While it's an interesting idea, I think you're underestimating the size of the
problem space. KPat has 15 different deal types, each with 2^31 numbered deals.
Assuming that we get 1 new, non-duplicate submission per second, it would still
take over a millennium to fill the database. :) So the statistics for a random
game will most likely be "Played 0 times" or maybe "Played 1 time".

There are also potential problems with malicious submissions. There will always
be someone out there who gets a kick out of submitting a false report claiming
that they'd solved an unsolvable game just to frustrate others.
