As for how people get good at it, well, it's all about repetition. Some challenges can be pretty frustrating. :>

Answer 2

Challenges in SoloLearn focus on a limited number of concepts which are included in the tutorial. If you have a good grasp of them, winning is easy.
Reviewing previous questions will help you grasp those concepts.
Winning challenges using 1 weapon means winning using 1 language. For example winning 50 HTML challenges will give you epic badge. But no problem if you play JavaScript at the same time.
When I was a newbie, I lost my first challenge 3:5. It was in HTML. You can expect the same, or better.
