8,124 PointsAm I being robbed?
If I get 30 badges for answering a "quiz" of 5 questions (and through experience knowing I only need 4 correct to pass) Why for 10 questions do I only get the same 30 badges? I don't know how many the pass rate is (presumably the same 80 per cent?) as I got all 10 but was anticipating more badges thus trying harder :p

32,861 PointsYou get 30 points (not badges) when you complete an achievement in a course. Each achievement gives you one badge. I believe you get the same amount of points no matter how many you got wrong, as long as you pass the quiz. Quizzes and challenges that are in the middle of an achievement section give you less points (I think 6 points) than the final challenge/quiz in achievement (30 points).

8,124 Pointslol badges must be on another site.... badges/points or variables/functions.... do you know how pickled one's head can get doing this stuff ( I'm sure you do)....
I just wondered whether programmers had a sense of humor......and was having a "lighter moment" to rest the grey matter....

32,861 PointsBadges are definitely on this site. There are badges and points. I was just saying that what you were calling badges in your post are actually points.
And yes, you are being robbed blind ;)
