Over 500,000 Answers Submitted on the PL/SQL Challenge!

Over the weekend of 2 June, we reached a major milestone on the PL/SQL Challenge: the 500,000th answer to a quiz was submitted!

Altogether, a total of 9,503 players from 120 countries have submitted (at the time of writing this post) 501,623 answers to quizzes. They used a total of 5770 days' time to decide on their choices and submit the answers.

Of course, the vast majority of those answers were submitted by a much smaller "core group" of Oracle technologists who play the daily PL/SQL quiz each day, or close to it.

Which means it's time for the Dedicated Players Roll Call. You will find below the list of all players who have missed no more than 50 daily PL/SQL quizzes out of the 559 that have been played since 8 April 2010. Now, that's dedication!
