User blog:S256/Level 500 beaten- Now for some fun stats!

Having just had the minor miracle to beat 500 with 5 moves left on Attempt #47, I need to wait for more levels. Here's some fairly interesting statistics that you may or may not know.

Hardest level
I know the attempts figures are absolutely astronomical, I played real frequent then. Thanks, generous friends of mine! NB: Even though I was stuck on 500 for 5 days, only 3 of them were days I played it. Therefore, it gets shunted down to 3, and is out of this list.

Near misses: 500, 460, 305 (joint 6th), 275, 33, 18 (joint 8th)
