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.

The t-shirt was taken down when we switched over to the new points exchange with ebooks. We refrained from putting it back up pending a decision as to whether or not to make it available for more levels than just level 5. The t-shirt is now back up and on offer. For everybody who has already claimed a t-shirt, we will be mailing them out soon. Check them out right here.

I claimed a t-shirt long back but did not get any response. Please let me know the current status. Thank You.

same thing happened to my lanyard claims, just wonder if they're still giving out these prizes
I believe they are going to be able to be purchased in the Points Exchange in the near future.
