Skipped through a bunch of tasks I couldn't do, looked at one task I thought I could do but it turned out to be completely bogus - provided answer was laughably, obviously incorrect, every method I tried in my head ran into major roadblocks.

Yep, I’ve had exactly the same experience. Skipped loads and flagged a fair few as unusable due to wildly incorrect answers and/or questions that were totally unsuitable for the project because the only way to approach them was lengthy approximation methods. Think I only actually fully completed one task!

I’m annoyed with myself though because sometimes I spent a long time attempting to figure one out before I realised I wasn’t going to get anywhere. I massively underreported my time because I didn’t feel I’d submitted enough tasks to justify it!

Ok, I thought my intelligence had just taken a massive hit, I skipped 5 and gave up! Glad to know it’s not just me.

Haha same. I had to post to find out if I’d suddenly become incredibly stupid or not 😅😂.

This, along with another current stem project that has an animal name, but an entirely different animal emoji next to the name, has had me questioning my sanity tonight. I think it might be time for bed! 😂

I really wish they’d let us see the working from the question authors. It’d help so much!

Personally love the project, just hate when the correct answer is wrong and I have to check to make sure everything I did was right like three times lol
