Agree, it is an epic fail with the photo! And looks like it is not just screenshot, it is in app too.

The blue-red represents the flag of Haiti. In the task you have to change the bottom color from yellow (ukraine) to red (haiti).

@volodymyr_grinchenko Grasshopper Curriculum Manager here — that's the Haitian flag: blue at the top, red at the bottom. It was brought to our attention just after we launched that this can easily be mistaken for Russian. We've since updated that puzzle, which you can see reflected in our app and on the homepage: https://grasshopper.codes/ . So thank you for flagging this, it allowed us to make the quick change.

@heathermacsmith thanks for removing the possibly confusing element and thanks for your quickly reply!

@abadesi Oh goodness, so many things :) We were testing for about 9 months tweaking to get stuff right. The custom code editor designed for beginners took a long time to get right, and we also had to tweak the curriculum a lot to optimize for students actually learning (e.g. we would introduce a new lesson, and then we'd get the stats back and realize that it was too confusing, so had to swap it out for something different). We also had to do a lot of iteration on our progress indicators (progress bars, points, and achievements). We still have a LOT more work to do to add more curriculum and keep motivating more people through to graduation, but we think it's a good start. :)

@ritwik1 Thanks for the review! :D

@delwilliams Awesome! Glad you're having a good time so far :)
