Any rough idea about the Teacher:Student ratio on Socratic?

Roughly the same number of users have asked a question on Socratic as have answered a question.
Explanation:
This is a hard question to answer for several reasons:
- First, we don't distinguish between teachers and students on Socratic. We believe everyone is both a learner and a teacher and is encouraged to do both on the site. Therefore, many users end up both answering and asking questions on Socratic.
- Second, the vast majority of "students" on Socratic never ask a question, they read the answer to a question that was already on Socratic. On average, every answer on Socratic is read by 100 people. While only one student asked that question on Socratic, 100+ students benefited from it.
