Some time has passed, and the leaderboard there now looks like this:

![5, 6, 7, 26, undefined, 5, 9, ascending from there](https://codegolf.codidact.com/uploads/fkzjy7lgijlddiwu6so4kxseelx6)

It appears that the [entry showing as undefined](https://codegolf.codidact.com/posts/283770/290596#answer-290596) is confusing the leaderboard.  I don't know what governs the placement of that entry in the list, but it seems to cause a reset.  (I would have expected it to sort either first or last, not in the middle.)

While acknowledging that yes this is a bug, the expedient thing to do *might* be to edit that answer.  How often does this happen?
