Guys, have you ever come across questions with wrong answers in challenges or maybe some misleading questions?

Marius Heise I have also witnessed questions being corrected... In C++ once I came across a question having no answer u select any answer it will be wrong ... i reported it many times then mailed them about it at info@sololearn.com and they replied & correction was done.... recently many php quizzes were wrong but they corrected immediately

Just a remark, if you find such a question in a challenge, you can report it. After the quiz is completed, check for answers and when you are at this particular question, there is a STOP-shaped button with an exclamation mark -- you can use it to report this question. Please also indicate the reason there 👍

Marius Heise Yes, I witnessed two Python questions being removed after having been proved wrong by me. It takes some time, though...

First of all, i would like to say that all questions that come in challenges are verified several times from various users. The section "quiz factory" is a place of lot of wrong questions appears. There you can verify questions as right or wrong. Based on your answer, the question will be send to challenges. If somehow, wrong question comes under the challenge then you can report it but please verify before reporting.

@Kuba: have you seen any reaction from SoloLearn when reporting an error in a challenge? I’ve reported a specific C++ challenge multiple times already, but it still comes up sometimes with the error (unless I’m totally mistaking). The C++ challenge has this content: “if (!true or ...” where the logical || is really written “or”... I also find a comment field would be very useful there because the most useful reason is “Other” without a comment field.

DT thanks. I guess it’s just is a matter of time then. It is just fascinating how it throws me off track each time when encounter these things in a challenge 😜
