As several colleagues noted and asked this strange peak of visits starting from Nov 29 2014 - I can share the cause of this mystery, which I soon found (with the help of google analytics and some search).

Our new colleague ihatepepperballs who joined recently posted short but expressive and positive review at reddit. It remained in top for about 30 hours and attracted a lot of new participants.

Thanks for advertising CodeAbbey in such a way :)
I myself never succeeded in attracting that many people at once, even posting at the same subreddit!

However I expect soon this peak will dissipate again and we'll return to usual ~100 new solutions per day :D

I do not think it would be that easy to reach popularity of ProjectEuler, CheckIO and Rosalind :)
