Guido's Gorgeous Lasagna: Remove instruction to create PREPARATION_TIME constant and rewording instructions

Not really :) Reputation is automated and that’s not how it works. It doesn’t take very many rep points to become a mentor. You ought to solve a bunch of exercises (and get mentored) prior to mentoring on that track. Completing and publishing a reasonable number of exercises should give you sufficient rep points to become a mentor.

I see - thanks!

Apologies if I’m being pedantic, but I don’t see that solving exercises nor getting mentored earns you reputation…?

Does it earn you reputation but not listed there?

You receive reputation for publishing a solution for an exercise, depending on the difficulty level. Easy exercises are worth 1 point, medium 2 points, hard 3 points.

So to summarise this @ebanner, you merely need 20 easy exercises published, or 10 medium exercises published, or 7 hard exercises published, or a combination such as 9 easy + 4 medium + 1 hard.

The published exercises can be in any track. For example see my, Isaac’s or BNAndras’ profiles (for increasing published counts) how the points are spread over multiple tracks.


We hope you continue to raise points of improvement when you encounter them. Happy exercisming!
