Brilliant Squared!!

I just upgraded to Brilliant squared and it is seriously awesome!! However there are a few things that can be improved.

1.The scratchpad: The scratchpad is pretty good but we can only type in here and can't draw a diagram or so. So, could you please include a Paint like panel next to the existing scratchpad?

2.The Practice problems: Most often, I noticed that there is a repetition of problems. For example, this skill has the same answer to every problem because they are SO similar!

3.I had typed the same note and I went on to read the Rules and guidelines. But when I returned, all that I had typed in had disappeared. Thus I had to type it all over again... Please make the necessary changes if possible.

Thank you :)

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.

@Arron Kau @Peter Taylor Can there be a feature where you can try out the first few skills in a set for free and after, you would need a $\text{Brilliant}^2$ account? That way, it can get users a limited edition of the skills and it would leave them at a cliffhanger. :)

Thanks!

Hiya Kevin, we are seriously considering ideas along those lines and in the future we may decide to implement the cliff-hanger.

Shreya, thanks for the encouraging feedback. The practice section does have some repetition, but the skill you saw in Combinatorics with the same problem over and over again was a bug. We have fixed it, give it a try!

Thank you so much!!

Hi Shreya,

Thanks for the feedback! We will take all of these into account as we strive to make both Brilliant and $Brilliant^2$ better.

Out of curiosity, which aspects of $Brilliant^2$ do you find most useful so far?

Peter Taylor Staff - 7 years ago

I felt the save sets feature and the new topics introduced in Practice section were very useful. :)

Shreya R - 7 years ago

What is the save sets feature? Can you please tell me more about it ?

@Shabarish Ch – Well, if you feel that you need a set probably to view later, you can save the set using a feature in Brilliant Squared known as the save sets feature.

Shreya R - 7 years ago

@Shreya R – Thanks! I found out what it is and am using it now..

Shabarish Ch - 7 years ago

@Shabarish Ch – Oh.. so you upgraded to Brilliant Squared .. :)

Shreya R - 7 years ago

@Shreya R – I had upgraded much earlier, but did not know of the save sets feature.

Shabarish Ch - 7 years ago

Hey there, you think it's worth the money? :-)
