One of the major human activities is solving problems. It is desirable to be able to predict whether a problem will be solved or not or, more precisely, the probability that a person can solve a problem. This probability can be estimated based on previous experience of people solving similar problems.Then, it is necessary to somehow describe the ability of the problem-solvers as well as the difficulty of the problems. This can be done by assigning to each problem or problem solver a rating, i.e., a number that represents the skill of the problem solver or the difficulty of the problem.In this paper, we propose to use a rating system developed in sports to other real-life problems, including rating of numerical packages.
