Should be able to do 24 challenges even at once after the given period

Hi there, right now its 12 jan 2026. I saw this advent of sql on reddit, and wanted to try out , but unlike advent of code, which i can do start at any time and can do all questions as i complete previous ones regardless of i started in the challenge period or not, but i didn't find way to do other than last question in advent of sql. I mean there is no way i need to only start in given time period, okay i don't want badge of like completion of the original period when questions were released, but i want to just practice for learning.

Permanently Display Answer Upon Challenge Completion

This will help users who wish to go back and refactor or simplify their solutions and allow them to check that their updated SQL remains correct.
