Difficulty vs discrimination
Each dot is one problem. X — how many solved it (scored ≥ 8 of 10); Y — discrimination, i.e. how well the problem told strong contestants from weak ones (score-vs-total correlation).
A good problem sits high and away from the edges. Bottom-left dots separated nobody — almost everyone failed them the same way.
