I'm currently working for the past 6 hours on this problem: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/objectoriented-javascript/practice-project/project-overview
Besides 2 pages of pseudo code and code copy pasted from previous lessons with an error, not much to show to be honest.
It would be interesting for me to know what the minimum amount is that is required for this problem (the fastest solution) and maximum amount of time is allowed to solve this problem before I hit the community with questions.
A rating of skill would be nice e.g.
< 3 hours "Genius, keep practicing" level
3 - 5 hours "You're getting smarter, keep practicing" level
6 - 11 hours "You need to practice more, this was a too slow" level
12 hours and above --> "Stop, breathe, smile, drink some water and please ask the community for help" level

Some people are better problem solvers than others and thats just a fact besides if you have previous JavaScript experience then I'll be easier. The goal is to solve the problem no matter how long it takes you. It once took me like 1 day to solve a problem and it was just something silly.
Besides that, someone that solved in in 1 hour could have awful code while someone who solved it in 12 hours could have awesome code.
