I was expecting a higher proportion in the "advanced" category.
For comparison:
Math Overflow: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&tbs=rl%3A1&...
OnStartups: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&tbs=rl%3A1&...
English Language & Usage: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&tbs=rl%3A1&...
CS Theory: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&tbs=rl%3A1&...
Seasoned Advice (Cooking): https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&tbs=rl%3A1&...

It's no surprise really, but it seems like the more technical jargon used on a site, the higher the reading level Google assigns.
