I really thank you for giving it a try and for your comments. I should say that the user's answer could be correct in many cases. I am working on a more advanced answer normalizing feature using some regex expressions which will NOT be a default option. From my point of view, it is better to memorize one pattern of the command that does the work instead of focusing on searching how to use the command.

Maybe add a button that says “challenge this ruling I’m pretty sure im right” so at least you’ll know which ones people were sure on vs ones they got wrong because they guessed.
This is very neat.
I found it difficult to read/parse the descriptions, they almost feel like sentence riddles. Also, the column width may be too wide for fast reading. Maybe one could solve these more quickly if there was always the same format using newlines like "type the command\nwhich will display x\n such that y".
That might make sense if there is some canonical answer to your questions. But if you arbitrarily choose "right" answer you are annoying people who already have some experience. But then, I guess you target people with little to not experience, right?
