Hi Sum Tsui,

Unfortunately, there currently isn't a direct way to see what others have asked about challenge without using to help button. After using the help button, your question is posted with a breadcrumb list of the Topic, Course, Section, and the Challenge shown above your question. These are clickable links:

Python > Python Collections > Dictionaries > Teacher Stats

Clicking on the Teacher Stats brings up all questions asked about that challenge ("code challenge 2242")

The other alternative is to search by the name of the challenge: "Teacher Stats"

For questions on videos, there is a tab below the video showing questions asked about that video.

Here is one what to solve the first two tasks of this challenge:

# task 1
def most_classes(my_dict):
    count = 0
    for teacher, classes in my_dict.items(): 
        if len(classes) > count:
            count = len(classes)
            has_most = teacher
    return has_most
ā€‹
# task 2
def num_teachers(my_dict):
    return len(my_dict)

Tip: if you're looking to find answers on the forums, use the challenge name!

That's how most people title their questions and make them easier to find for other people, to answer the question the only other help (without leaving the Treehouse site) is to rewatch the last video, you might suddenly find you know the answers or how to create a piece of code to solve the problem!
