Are you smarter than my cat?

Even cats use Brilliant.

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.

How do you post problems, people?? Can you please direct me??

Vikram Venkat - 6 years, 5 months ago

If you are on desktop, on the top right corner of the menu, you will see a "Post Something" button.

If you are on the android app, we are planning for a release on Tuesday that will allow you to Post from the app.

Is this really your cat? BTW I must report that an underage cat is using Brilliant.. obvio under 13. And is this note specifically created to increase the number of likes to that problem? :-P

Satvik Golechha - 6 years, 5 months ago

Yup, that's my cat.

Nope, Cats are older than you think.

Nope, Grey just keeps interrupting me. He likes to climb into the pillow on my lap.

Calvin Lin Staff - 6 years, 5 months ago
