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.

And got 9 on AIME 1 to make JMO... if you took this AIME, you could get 6+, you have 3 hours so you have like no time pressure.. :) and you can do it at home using AoPS (see your message board)

I'm doing Gifted integrated mathematics topics 2 (gifted 6th grade normally), but i can live with it. :P
Also, how did you do on the AMC 10 B 2014 this year? That's the one I took this year. :D

Funny thing is I'm the only one from my school who made JMO this year. Those huge cutoffs are killer.
