Quite cool when you think about it. Each cluster probably represent a different method for solving the problem. Awesome that it's possible to classify the solutions like this. I think this might be usable for better feedback on Coursera. Cool!

Yes, and used in the reverse, starting from a red cluster, you can derivate a working program. Now let's just find a way to find those clusters from problem statements ;-)

Ahh yes, I didn't think about that. I wonder if it would be possible to build the best possible solution from this data in some way?
