SoloLearn should create a department for creating challenge questions.

Some code snippets in Java challenges require more time to answer for those who are new to challenges. More still, I've realised that after 20 challenges, one should be in position to win flawlessly thereafter since the same questions keep looping. I find it rather disturbing for a person who has only done 50% or less of a course beating one who has completed the course. Reason: One focuses on learning & completing while the other only memorises the answers which doesn't make sense.

I agree, but note that everyone won't memorize answers. It happens involuntarily. I (and maybe many others) play challenges and stop them after getting related badges. That's why I blocked C++, JavaScript, C#, Java challenges. Anyways, questions regarding concepts not covered in the course are getting declined. I think it's not possible to frame many questions on just the basics. Upgrading courses is the only way.

@Krishna Teja Y, there's too much content learned in some of the courses here but so little reflects in challenges. Why would questions outside learned concepts be included before exhausting the ones available in the course(s)?! The Community members who currently create the quizes create questions from selected/their favourite concepts in the course(s). That's why I think a dedicated Team for challenge questions is vital.
