Maybe I'm just showing my low IQ, but it takes me 20 or 30 seconds just to understand some of the problems. Maybe introduce difficulty levels? Currently, I can't ever solve a problem if it takes me more than 1 minute - I'd li

I would say that knowing how operators are affecting your code is something that a lot of JS devs probably don't fully grok. For example, why this works: ~function(){}(); or why this... x = (y = 1, 3) ... sets x equal to 3 and y equal to 1.
