New challenge system is pretty bad

after not using the app for two months I came back to use this wonderful app but I notice the new challenge system is really bad.. 1) too many hard questions for the time you get, questions with like 6 variables changing in a loop are pretty damn hard to solve in 15 secs. 2) +1XP for a win? and -32 for a loss? I loss to a level 12 player and now i must win 32 challenges(without losing) to get that XP back, thats pretty bad and gives no motivation to keep playing challenges.

Welcome back. For the past month, countless threads regarding the scoring system has been made. SL does not seem to have intentions on reverting the change. While I agree that +5XP for winning should have been kept, they have made legitimate reasons which led to the change, that is, to prevent XP farming using alternate accounts.

My possible solutions are: 1) At the end of every question add a "difficulty vote" and those questions who get a high numbers of votes for "hard" get a 15 extra seconds to solve. 2) +5xp for winning vs a low level player or reduce the amount of xp for lossing. Vote up if you agree so sololearn can read and improve this amazing app.

@Hatsy Rei, Sad to hear that and even more sad to know that people need to do xp farming in an app made for learn and practice to became better programmers.
