Where the keys were found

Every puzzle hides its key somewhere inside its own range, from the bottom (0%) to the top (100%). This shows where the published key of each found puzzle landed. It is a record of the past, not a hint about open puzzles: each key is independent.

Position of each published key inside its range Scatter plot of 83 found puzzles. Horizontal axis: position of the published key inside its range, 0 to 100 percent. Vertical axis: puzzle number. Average position 50.4 percent.
