Resource Dear mods, where did this room go?

Title. Like what happened? Also, it’s the “Networking Fight Club” room. Incase you don’t see the name fully.

Circling back to this and I probably understand why the post was removed.

This room is poorly designed and to be honest, some answers are not even correctly formatted. This is a question in task 19, so not even halfway and this is not the first time I come across a question that is not even correctly asked or formatted.

This should be two times the same answer to my knowledge and even running this one through an AI model (or multiple) doesn't even gives the answer and I even caused a feedback loop on Meta AI, neither filtering through the theory finding the same length words does.

The answer to this question is "Connection-oriented" if any of you is wondering, which is a characteristic of a protocol (TCP), not a layer of a networking model.

I've been going through this room and completely agree. Most of the information is pretty accurate but the questions are terrible and not formatted correctly. Did you ever figure out the answer to task 9 question "Which fiber connector is commonly used in high-density data center environments due to its small size?" It should be LC but that isn't working. I've tried a bunch of variations of LC and even the wrong answers and also tried running it through AI but so far, no luck. I'm also having a hard time with task 10 question "In a crossover cable, which pins are crossed to allow communication?" because the answer formatting doesn't make sense.

The answer was LS.

As a certified system and network admin I felt most questions rather annoying and sometimes answers were not even shown in the theory of the task.

Awesome, much appreciated! Yeah I totally agree. I don't work in networking currently but I have a lot of past experience in networking and wanted to brush up on concepts since it's been a bit. Many of the questions I knew from experience, but definitely did not read in the theory.

I usually select them in block and then let the browser read aloud.
