"The number of red members at both Topcoder and Codeforces is approximately 1% of all people ever rated at respective tracks: 590/63K for Topcoder Algorithm track, 40/6K for Topcoder Marathon track, 654/54K for Codeforces. Even when we add members who have been red at some point of time in the past but are not now, the share of red might grow to 2% but not beyond that. And yet the search for instructions on joining the elite squad is one of the most frequently asked questions in competitive programming, with slightly varying time intervals allotted." — source
