hey, I agree completely with you and I am suprised that noone has replied anything. The level that you get after completing the course pales in comparison with the level these challenges demand. I got 5 answers correct in the first challenges and since then only 1 or 2. Sometimes I report the answer given as correct after going through the math over and over again. Many other times I have no clue why that answer is right. They should explain so many things to get to understand it. At least I think there should be like a brief hint to every correct answer to clarify it in a general manner. I also believe it would be interesting to have some tiers because you cannot expect someone with low levels to get those challenges right... Many times it seems the answer is always the exact opposite of whatyou would intuitively think. The truth is that I am not getting any motivated by the challenges but only confused and a little down... I thought I had got the grip of Javascript after the course and completing some of -

Ana I can see by your posts that you are really smart. Don't be discouraged by getting questions wrong, this is part of the learning process. The more you get wrong now = the more you will get right later. Even when you have already worked out the problem and you remember the answer in your memory, your brain still goes through the process and registers a type of repetition (albeit less than actially working out the problem). Eventually you will start to get 5 out of 5, just keep going. You can challenge me all you want, I won't decline. đŸ€— Every time I start a new language I know that I am going to have to go through a gruelling beginning. But it's only the beginning. Once you get to 1000 points in a language you should feel quite comfortable. 2000-3000...wow you pretty much know everything! 5000-10000 You are invincible! 10000++ - GODLIKE! Anyways keep up the motivation, keep coding and keep challenging!

--> some of the freeCodeCamp projects but now I think I've got no idea where I stand since there are so many answers I have no idea where they are coming from, and also so many concepts unseen until now, like eval(), Sets, maps... and so on

So in professional practice javascript doesn't use all these complex Math that I see here? 😅
