Here is my profile - babymann2.
I have finished the Chinese course, and I am learning English from Chinese (the American flag is in my languages because of this. Everything is written in Chinese on that course, and it thinks that I am "learning English").

Duolingo is awesome for learning new languages - I now go to "Chinese School" every Saturday, where we only speak Chinese while learning new words and phrases, and this all came from simply doing my Duolingo every day for 3 years - this proves that it is very effective for learning quickly (you should try it out too).

Do you use mobile? Because mobile got an update that I personally think will boost the popularity of Duolingo even more - there is a new course, and that new course is......
Chess!
It is super addicting and since I used to play a little bit of chess a while ago I was interested, and I am getting way better really quickly - you should definitely try it out too!

I tried it and set it for 1200-1400 elo (where I peaked back when I played chess a lot) and got this puzzle in the "Opening Tactics" section. It kind of made me give up on using duolingo to get better at chess because puzzles like this are not going to help me improve
. It probably is better for learning the fundamentals and basic strategy compared to things like opening theory for 1000+ elo

Have you ever seen a guy with this much XP? He's hacking for sure - look at the second image, where all of his courses are shown. I calculated how much XP he must have gotten every day for this (assuming he didn't skip a day since the beginning of his streak) and how long it would've taken him, were he legit.
I found that he would've had to get at least 4000 XP a day, every day, to have such a large total. For comparison, my highest amount of XP in one day was ≈5300 (It took me 3 hours).
Now, I wanted to find out how long it would take me to get these 4000 XP, assuming that there isn't too much variation in the grinding method used. I found a very good method for getting XP fast (not that I always use it, but yeah... it works) and it takes me ≈12 mins to get 1000 XP using it. This means that this guy actually might be legit.... right?
Well, the first thing that points in the direction of cheating is that this 1000 XP in 12 mins is earnt using my 2x XP boost from the golden chest daily quest. Otherwise I would have to complete one of the stepping stones on the path of my course to get a double XP boost (I use PC version, so I won't be factoring in 3x XP boost because I can't get this on computer but also because the easiest XP grinding method I found only works well on computer). Seeing as a session for this guy would average around 3/4 of an hour of the 2x XP boosts (15 mins each) he would need around 15 extra minutes or so to get the other two XP boosts as you can only get one of the three needed from doing quests.
Another thing, if you look at the first image with his profile on it, he hasn't been getting 4000 XP recently. His average XP per day in the last week was 12,000?!?!?! This just seems too unrealistic, seeing as a friend of mine, who is completely legit by the way, once got 10,000 XP in one day and it took AGES. How do you AVERAGE these types of scores each and every day without cheating? It would take close to 4 hours (if you are getting XP quite quickly) to get these types of numbers every day. I just don't see anybody doing this every day, for multiple years, all by himself.
I don't know how this would work, but I'm pretty sure that if multiple people logged into one Duolingo account, and grinded simultaneously, this could work out.
But still, that would take around 12 reasonably grindy people to get this much XP (if they got 1000 each) every day.
Anyway, this is interesting to see, and I hope that I can uncover tHe WaYS oF ThE cHeATer (and stop them from winning the leaderboards each week as it is super annoying)!

Also, I just remembered this from last year...
At the end of that week 1st place had 700K XP, 2nd & 3rd had around 400K, and 4th-7th had above 50K XP
