Percentage of success in puzzles

Dear Lichess ,I wondered if it would be possible, because I can see how many times the puzzle been played I wondered if you could put a percentage number of how many solved it successfully first time (On the daily training puzzle) just an idea yours sincerely SOJB xxx
After beeing played a few (dozen/hundred) times, a puzzle reach a stable rating.
Then, a player with that same (puzzle) rating has 50% chance to solve it.
As stated above, a player with the same puzzle rating as the puzzle has a 50% chance of getting it right (which is how the rating is supposed to work).

You can also estimate the number of players that would solve it on the first try by the puzzle's rating:

1500 is average so about 50%

1750 would be about 25% - 1250 would be about 75%

2000 would be about 10% - 1000 would be about 90%

Since a puzzle's solve rate is essentially correlated with its rating, adding a solve percentage number wouldn't tell you much more than its rating would.
alright i think this is about the ESTIMATION of success percentage regarding a puzzle..
i mean what about the actual success percentage driven from people who really solved in correctly in their first try...

in the image
regardless of 2nd & third try, let assume you see 696 people solved it
what is the percentage of 696 who solved it correctly...
So the powers that be are saying it would ruin our fixed ratings system lol that's pretty deep but if you're in the same place as me you understand xxx
