Also any stat that's already on a leaderboard would be very easy to add, so feel free to suggest any of those.

Also if you have any gripes or suggestions, now is your (very small) window to throw them out while I've got the TC code open.
If it wasn't obvious already, I like stats a lot. So most of these sound interesting to me. However I don't see them being important enough to be added on the Homepage. I would suggest adding a new tab to the Leaderboards, something like 'Additional stats', and dumping these there. That way those who are interested could take a look, but others wouldn't have to see them.
A lot of players don't seem to play puzzles, maybe adding some kind of rating/ranking system would make people more interested in them? Here is what Paul suggested at some point:

Well, let me ask you this, doesn't it make even less sense as a serious statement?
Dynasty already mentioned this in the TC chat, but he made probably the worst 8th rack mistake I've ever seen in yesterday's DC. Ouch.
