How can I find out the rarest Steam achievement?
Having completed the most difficult achievements for a couple of games, I started wondering how difficult the worst achievements can be. One well-defined measure for difficulty of an achievement is its rareness. Sadly, I don't know how to find global achievement stats for all Steam games.
What I want to know is:
What is the most rare single player achievement on Steam, in terms of
- individual players?
- percentage of players?
As any answer would eventually become outdated, I'm not asking that question per se. Instead, I would like to know how the rarest achievements can be found.
A good answer, then, depicts a method for finding the rarest achievements on Steam.

Answer 2
You can find out your own rarest achievements, but this method does require that you are at least Steam Level 10 (since that is when you unlock the ability to add 'showcases' to your profile - but correct me if I'm wrong). Go to your profile, click the edit button, scroll down to the bottom of the page, then change the dropdown menu for 'Featured Showcase' to 'Rarest Achievement Showcase'. This will show you the six rarest achievements that you own, and if you hover over them it will tell you the percentage of players who have it.
