AoPS FTW! Hangout

Hey you guys!

I've been playing a whole lot of FTW! (For the Win!) on AoPS (Art of Problem Solving). For those who don't know what it is, it's a real-time competition where you solve problems and try to collect the most amount of points out of all of the people who are playing.

I've been playing in particular with Sharky and Trevor B., which has been a lot of fun. But I was thinking, if you guys are interested, you can schedule a game with some people on this discussion. If you want to be part, just subscribe to the discussion, and whenever somebody wants to play a match with some familiar faces (well, people), they'll leave a comment and you're off!

It's really competitive, and I'll work on getting a date set for a BUNCH of people from Brilliant to play all at once. If you guys have a preference for when we should do it, comment below. Otherwise, you can @mention somebody and challenge them to a game of FTW!

Enjoy, and don't forget to like and reshare! :D

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

AoPS stands for Art of Problem Solving. It is a really cool site. Link is http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/

If you want only Brilliantics to play, just set the password as "Brilliant" or some other thing (as long as you tell other Brilliantics what it is).

Is Trevor B. Iamteehee? he said "banana" once... :P

David Lee - 7 years, 1 month ago

Log in to reply

No, he's Eridan. But I've seen lameteehee all over the place. :D

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

Please explain the association between me and bananas, other than the fact that my dog is obsessed with them (which I think I've said before).

The only food related question I can remember was the one I released yesterday about Attack on Titan and the Riemann zeta function.

My actual account name is Eridan.

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

You said "Banana" on the reshares post (171 reshares) by finn. Iamteehee is famed for banana.

David Lee - 7 years, 1 month ago

@David Lee Oh yeah... That's right. Funny.

@Daniel Liu I can't talk yet. 20 games to go.

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

No he most likely isn't. He didn't have an AoPS account when I asked back a while ago.

Daniel Liu - 7 years, 1 month ago

I was playing yesterday (and my rating went up 100 to the mid 1400s, somehow) and someone thought I was a person who had gotten a really high rating and was using a second account. That was funny. I'm finally able to chat now, though.

Maybe I should have done Mathcounts when I was young enough to...

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

It's Eridan.

@Daniel Liu What's your account?

Finn Hulse - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Daniel Liu My apologies for leaving early, but since Finn left, I want to see if we can get a game with most of the Brilliantics in it. From the looks of it, Yan Yau, Finn, you, Pranav, Anish, and Minimario are all on. I have to go for a while, hopefully you'll still be there!

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

@Trevor B. Huh, minimario is more active in AoPS than Brilliant. Also which pranav?

Christopher Boo - 7 years, 1 month ago

You have to play 30 games before you are free to comment. I've played 14 (I started Friday) and it's really annoying, but I guess I'll just have to wait.

Trevor B. - 7 years, 1 month ago

Ok, I feel kinda sorry for my opponents that I can't chat anything haha...

I got flood muted for the second time

David Lee - 6 years, 11 months ago

Log in to reply

Flood muted?

Sharky Kesa - 6 years, 11 months ago

Flood muted?

Finn Hulse - 6 years, 11 months ago

Lol. I used to get flood muted all the time when I played FTW a lot.

For those of you who don't know, if you chat too much in a very short amount of time (like for example, typing 10 messages in 10 or less seconds), then you automatically cannot talk for a designated amount of time (not very long, though). If you want to see how it works, keep typing "Hi" and then pressing enter over and over again until it says in green letters something along the lines of "Sorry, you have been temporarily muted" or something like that (I forgot).

btw what is your username David Lee?

Hahn Lheem - 6 years, 11 months ago

No, his is like hwl0403 which I don't get. :O
