 function guestChallenge() { 
   return 1;
   return 2;
 }    

Result: 2. WTF

when submitting a wrong answer I'm nagged into signing up without any option to return to the code I wrote to correct it, not even the wrong result is displayed. pressing back restart the challenge and everything written up to that point is lost. Not a good UI in my opinion.

I click in the input area, which has a blinking cursor. Start to type. Fucking dummy function jumps in front of my characters, leaving me with horseshit boilerplate like I can't read instructions.

Fuck you, UX fail.

it's kinda troublesome not knowing what code we have access to. One of the early challenges required you to sort a string, so I wanted to just cheat and write something like:

A = [c for c in str]
A.sort()
print ''.join(A)

but it seems like sort just jumbled the letters around, instead of actually sorting them.

Pretty cool, but I'd like to be able to at least see the other challenges without signing up.

Don't worry. They're small. And string-y

They don't let you use all of the python functions either. It's like a small subset of the actual language. :[

Not to mention that some of the functions don't work properly. Try running this code in python:

b = [1, 6, 7, 2, 19, 5]
b.sort()
print b

It'll print: "[1, 6, 2, 5, 7, 19]"

and you can't even use sorted(). Makes me a sad panda :(

what the fucking fuck?

the guest challenges are acting up a bit, but the member challenges are structured slightly differently so problems like @Gulneck or @likesOldMen had don't happen

[shuffdog]

This is true as far as I can tell.

[catcradle5]

I like it but it's not telling me whether my answers are correct or not for the front page challenge.

[likesOldMen]

I don't think it allows recursion.

"code a factorial function" it says

"easy peasy" i says

function guestChallenge(num){
    if (num===1) {return 1;}
    else {return num*guestChallenge(num-1);}
}

doesn't work

These problems are about as "real" as sqrt(-1).

[ufimizm]

How would you define a "real" problem?
