What's even more (pseudo-)surprising/depressing is that, at least according to this thread and subthread, only 1,000 people completed the first homework, out of the ~150k who signed up.

A commenter suggested that this is reasonable considering the wide net they cast for the course compared to the math pre-requisites, and the normal compsci class dropout rate (which increases for large classes).

You're right. Recent update says 46k (not sure if the link in the thread to Norvig's G+ account is perma so just linking reddit).
