Intro
You've probably noticed that there are not every game levels in the challenge mode. In fact, initially, Valve had apparently planned the challenge mode for every levels, but then they would have removed the ones with not much interest, which gave the challenge mode that the general public knows.
However, you can easily recover the removed levels.
