On what basis are XPs given in quizzes?

When I challenge a player having higher level than me, I'm awarded with more XPs but sometimes even a player with higher level whom i challenge are assigned low XP even before starting a quiz, how? Also on what basis are XPs deducted if you lose to player with a higher/lower level than you?

The XP allocation algorithm for challengers is based on language XP, and not user level. Although stated in official FAQ (www.sololearn.com/FAQ) that levels are taken into account, a lv16 user with no XP in Ruby, for example will earn more XP when challenging a lv10 user with high XP in the language.

It depends, when the opponent does better​ than you the value will be obvious higher

Not too much! Imagine​ 1000XP for one challenge!?! I think it's there for fair play policy

Because for each answer correct, you get 1XP(Experienced​ learner) but since the match result is -1XP the answer bonuses will be added For e.g. 4-2 2XP Answer bonuses -1XP Match Result 1XP Total So -1 + 2 equals 1XP

But sometimes even if you lose, you get XPs instead of losing it (for example answer bonus =+4, match result= -1 and total xp=3). How?

Ok! That's the scenario for experienced learners.. But why the highest XP that can be earned is just between (30 to 38) and a most you can lose is between (-29 to -21). Are these random figures based on XP algorithm?

Yes it's fair play understood! But my question was that, are these random numbers generated through XP algorithm with range already set only?

i believe the total XP is 33. So, if it tells you you can win 32 XP against a high level, you will only loose 1 XP if you don't. With the new challenge rules, you also get XP for right answers. So you will loose at worst 1 XP against a high level in a language (not necessary linked to his actual level): it is a good way to learn and get XP slowly but surely.
