Yes, I agree with everything in this comment. He has one of the nicest personalities on brilliant and really adds to the "community effect". His problems too are most original, creative, and tricky for the mind to work through.
There are some of his problems which I am still working on despite having started them a week or so ago. I REFUSE to click that reveal solution button. This problem solving mindset has carried me a very long way and I am eternally greatful that he inspired me to embrace this attitude.
Thanks for all the inspiration @Brian Charlesworth. Stay brilliant!

Wow... very kind words, Trevor. Thank you! The Brilliant community has had an effect on me too; I am grateful for its existence. :D
As for problem-solving, there are drawbacks to the "Never Reveal" mindset, (which we have discussed before), but as you have a good head on your shoulders I'm sure you'll always make optimal use of this attitude. :)
Thanks, Karan! I'm touched by your appreciation. I really enjoy the time I spend on Brilliant; this is a vibrant community of amazing young minds eager to improve their skills and help others do the same. I learn something new here every day. :)
Yes, Michael sir's problems are nice as well, but they usually go tangentially over my head. (I know that's not his mistake and I obviously respect him)
Thanks, Pranjal. There are so many good problem posters on Brilliant, yourself included, so I think that we should just be commending everyone who contributes rather than singling people out. That said, I do appreciate the recognition, and to return the favor, I nominate @Pranjal Jain .:)

Please don't kill me for this but are his questions original , I mean many of his questions I saw in books and Coaching material.
Log in to reply
hahaha... I liked ur Lines ... " Please don't kill me " .. I understand Sandeep sir is that Personality on brilliant , if any one Speaks anysthing about him , then they may kill that one....
But Yes I agreed with you Ronak !
Real Honour should be given to those who post Original Questions .!
So Title should be
Who post Best Original Problems ?
In my Views , some contestant who Post Most Beuatuful and original Questions ever are ( In no Particular order) :
∙ Ronak agarwal
∙ Deepanshu gupta
∙ Brian charlesworth Sir
∙Michael Mendrin Sir
∙ Jatin Yadav (Although he is not active from a year , Since He got selected in IIT Dehli)
∙Anish puthraya (Although he is also not active from a year , Since He got selected in IIT Bombay)
∙ Staff Members (David Mattingly Sir (Physics) & Calvin Lin Sir(Maths) )
∙ Josh Silverman Sir
∙ Satvik Golechha (upcoming genius...)

Thanks again, Karan. I would add @Trevor Arashiro to the list as well. (I can think of many others but since this is my second nomination I've hit my prescribed limit.)
No one can kill you!!
Most annoying part of posting problems is when no one does your problem, hard work in making the problem goes waste.
@Sandeep Bhardwaj sir..
Nice choice !! Upvoted!!
His problems are really cool and helpful for "IIT JEE" preparation.Upvoted :)
Deepanshu Gupta .

Physics on brilliant is alive because of people like depanshu and josh sir.
How can anyone give downvotes to deepanshu !!!
Try his problems you won't solve anyone of them.
Log in to reply
Totally agreed with you ... But you missed your name..! Infact It seems that Staff has no issue with physics and all Physics is moderated by People Like : , You , josh ,deepanshu !
And It is extremly disappointing that People (I mean all 13-15 kids) Don't appericiate Your Excellent thinking and Problem Making ability ... Only Few people have talent of #Problem Making .. and you guys are one of them..
I salute your Skills ! and your Contrubution to Make Physics alive on brilliant.
Ignore all those stupids kids , they are not mature , But believe me we all other Respect you very much..!

I'm sorry as i've just violated the rule imposed by the note creator, but i couldn't help myself for as i can see some of the very brilliant members of Brilliant were not really given the credit they deserve. So i couldn't resist myself to express a gratitude to those guys:
@Brian Charlesworth @Trevor Arashiro @Daniel Liu @Aditya Raut @Ronak Agarwal @Pranjal Jain
Aditya Raut.

I am so late to this contest...I was inactive for so long thanks for mentioning me.
Like, I'm a bit confused. Your status mentions you're a graduate. But it shows your age as 19. Which year and stream of engg are you in , dude?

How can I forget him, and the time when ~20% of Brilliant was just Finn Hulse... :D
Log in to reply
Yes he is brilliant Personality on a brilliant website named Brillinat.org.. :)
My favorite problem poster is @Nihar Mahajan ! And @Sandeep Bhardwaj sir! Please upvote them. . .
@Calvin Lin sir and @Raghav Vaidyanathan too deserve it.
Why don't you add a parallel note for Best Solution Poster? Time to remember sir Chew-Seong Cheong. @siddharth bhatt
@Ronak Agarwal
Log in to reply
This really hearts .... His Problems are so Cool , Most Important thing is People Like Ronak and Deepanshu Create Questions From thier own mind , and They Create Realy awesome Situations in Physics ... and what we see when we got Right Time to appreciate their contribution .... then some 13-15 years old student's just Downvotes their names , Beacuse they just did not want names other than them .... while Question which genrally they Post are directly from any Books or from their coaching ... So I don't think this makes them Best Problem Poster .... !
I agree Their are students of this age who have abilty to create questions at their own ... So I appreciate their Thinking ability ! People Like @Satvik Golechha Krishna Ar are so so awesome
But all others should also respect others ....
All of us know (Excepts some kids ..) People Like jatin yadav are so so so awesome that they create so much beautiful situations in Physics !
But I guess if I mention his name , Then there exist so many stupids (sorry for bad language , but I hearts) who un-nesseserily downvotes him ... even without knowing his Thinking abilty .. why just beacuase they want their names instead of the one who really Deserve !
Also I think Title should be ...
who is Best original problem Poster ?
what do you think @Gautam Sharma
Log in to reply
I totaly agree with you guys like SG , Ronak Agarwal and Deepanshu Gupta post awesome questions , don't know why the community is downvoting their names. They may feel quite bad that even after posting such incredible problems they are not getting what they deserve. Why Aditya Raut name not here ???
@Karan Shekhawat Thanks for mentioning me, but I didn't like your, "But they should also respect others .... " I have never intentionally tried to disrespect anyone here, and in fact, I have a LOT of respect for members like Jatin, Ronak, etc., who constantly help the community with their knowledge and skill.
Log in to reply
No no .... you take my words wrongly ... I meant others should respect everyother ... Sorry for My words ... Truly I'am really appreciate your knowledge guy's .. you and Krishna ar , are to awesome ..
I know u both are moderators also and u always very kind and Helps Brilliant communuty ... I was adressing to others student who downvotes Ronak , Deepanshu , Pi han goh etc... I was not adressing you guy's ... So please don't feel bad...! @Krishna Ar @Satvik Golechha
Log in to reply
So 'twas a case of misunderstanding. :P
Not at all, I though that was fer us, thanks for clearing it up! @Karan Shekhawat
o.O
I dont think I have ever disrespected anyone here.

always welcome
As far as problem posting is concerned, no one can beat Sandeep Bhardwaj. On a normal day, he can post as much as 30 good problems. So my vote goes straight to him....
Now for problem creating, Nihar Mahajan definitely deserves the credit. At this age, he's given birth to some very creative problems that i really liked. And you can see him constantly evolving, refining his skills.. which is beautifully menifested in each of his new problems.
Log in to reply
Thank you very much sir. Your problems are really nice (some of them go tangentially over my head) also I like the titles of your problems.Keep posting them for us. :)

Oh.. you're going to beat them soon enough. Thanks.

I m copying Sandeep sir's words from one of his notes. "
To
The Downvoter,
I think you're afraid of failures, or may be you feel others are superior than you, or you need some inner peace, or you're jealous of others, or may be any other reason due to which you're enough determined to downvote the comments of the wonderful people here around you.
You need to appreciate their talent, thoughts and their strengths. Because it's what they have earned in the life, it's what they achieved it, it's what they deserve it.
You can't lift yourself up through this way. For that, you need to focus on yourself, bring your potential out, appreciate others' feelings and talent, and you should learn to love the people and all the good things around you.
I don''t find your any logical reason behind your intention.. What you think may be that's right. But that doesn't include that others are wrong. Because 2+3 ois 5 and same is 1+4 and\0+5) and so on...All I want to say is that you should respect others' thoughts too, even if you don't agree with that.
Please Don't do this. It's not good. Its a humble request to you.
With Due Respect."
Satvik is active and he is one of the best problem creators on Brilliant, his abilities can't be judged simply by the no. Of up votes for his name.
@Mehul Arora 's "Cheers" problems (Hawkeye of Brilliant).
@Harsh Shrivastava His problems are awesome and he is one of the most "sharing and liking" person of brilliant.
