Too much PURE MATH!!! in Challenges

Question

More so in the C# challenges. Some of them are just ridiculous, and not do able in the timeframe without a calculator. And the fact that it can be completed with a calculator defeats the purpose.

Can we have some peer review process in the user submitted questions for challenges? I find it incredibly pointless to practice doing arithmetics really really fast...

Answer 1

I came across a question in c# challenge. It looks something like this.

a = false;
b = true;
Which of the following are true? (multiple answer)
(a&&b)||(b||a&&(a||b))
a||b&&(a&&b||(a||b))
a&&b&&(a||b&&(b&&a))
(a||b)&&(a&&b||(a&&b))

Note : These options are original ones. I created them to express the size of the original ones.

Coming to the point, how can someone answer such questions when there is a time limit? And, there is nothing related to c# in it. I mean, it works the same in c, c++, Java, ...

Answer 2

Krishna sir two questions has B in front that are true, and yeah that is true so many math that you need calculator in front of you.
Friends post your questions in factory to minimize these.

Answer 3

Michael how can you take screenshot.
Sometimes ago when 1 question in particular was bothering me I wanted to take screenshot but couldn't do that, so I never checked again.

Answer 4

I would like more algorithmic questions, or clever exploits of language specific functionalities.

Answer 5

lol I know right they should at least have some word challenge more than math

Answer 6

Krishna, yea, I got that one in 2 consecutive challenges, the timeframe given to solve it just doesn't make sense, all u can really do is screenshot it and remember the answer for future encounters lol

Answer 7

There must equal amount of conceptual as well as mathematical questions.
