Challenges dumb question!!!!!

Question

There are some question in challenges that you can answer without reading. Like in guess output
placeholder can hold 4 character and the choice are "Ball" and "Apple". So the choice is definitely Ball. At least post a question that isn't 50-50.
At least make possible answer of same length.

Answer 1

I agree due to this reason from some days I am playing less challenges, there are a no of questions just based on maths ... I love maths but the time limit is less to solve them

Answer 2

lol really this question is too silly :P

Answer 3

@Sakshi I just modified the question, not to say name but answering techniques is same nonetheless.

Answer 4

yes @Krishna sir they should at least change it back to 5XP.
And yes @Sakshi there are math everywhere.
I submitted and was rating C# question and it said there are no more questions to rate. So friends please submit.

Answer 5

There are many questions in which we have to find the output of a function call. Guess what, function names are: factorial, power, isprime etc,.

There are some questions which completely depend on how fast you are in math. Just now, I played 7 challenges with a guy. I lost one (due to silly math calculation mistake) and I am awarded with 18-30 = -12 XP. They should change the -30 XP thing.

Answer 6

There are even more questions which you end up answering correctly no matter if you did a mistake or not. For example:
int a = 5;
int b = ++a;
if (b <= 5)
return b;
else
return a;

Simply returning b and asking for the result would show the same participant's knowledge.
And what I really dislike is that 80% of questions are all about increments and modulus operation. Get over it! It's boring and showing so little skill!

Answer 7

I think challenges are stupid in general, the question are usually all very similar and based on mostly math operators and for loops.
There is also no way to check the answer if you get it incorrect so you really don't learn anything anyway and also, the "harder" question are the exact same programming logic where the math problems just get harder which isnt teaching me coding, its teaching me math....
finally, the "harder" questions rarely give you enough time to work out the rediculous mess of math problems...

Answer 8

Yep. Challenges just rush you to the wrong answer and then doesn't offer any correction.
so frustrating...
