Can a user attempt challenge questions solo?

Is there a way to practice the challenge questions solo on SoloLearn? Instead of going head to head, could I be presented with coding problems with a visible (or invisible) increasing timer with a much longer time limit than the current challenge timer? I feel like this would be a good addition to SoloLearn if it isn't a part of it already. I ask because I feel like for most of the challenge problems I have to either guess the answer bc I can't get through reading the code completely before the timer runs out, or not get the point bc of a timeout. The buzzer is a bit defeating as well if you're missing a few in a row. The current challenge system is good, I just wish there was a solo version that is similar to it with a different time limit.

Time is part of the game, and accepting it is the condition for a "challenge" to deserve its name. The solution for your question: Don't be scared of loosing, that's the best way to learn, and review the questions after the challenge has ended (have you noticed you can re-open them and analyse them with all the time you need ?)

Oh wow, no - I didn't know you could actually go back and look at them again! That changes a lot. Thanks Cépagrave !

If you answer at least like 2 questions, you won't lose XP, because of Answer Bonus. So even if you lose a match, you still shouldn't be losing XP :)
