Duration of the New Points Exchange

I want to know whether these books will be available for us for only this week or for the next few weeks as well.

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.

Manoj,

They will be available into the future. In future weeks it is totally possible that we might change the points exchange again, to adapt to what we are able to offer and what you guys would like. If you are worried about saving up points for a book you really want only to have it disappear, don't worry. If anything the points exchange would expand the books on offer, not reduce them.

It occurs to me that in the future, we might end up rotating the books through. In this sense a book might "disappear." This will not happen for several weeks in all likelihood. When it does, we could probably arrange for a person to claim a book that is no longer on the exchange.

I want to get mathematical puzzles for 15000,but after getting that there is no possibility for me to get another book.So i am waiting...

I think so Manoj

I am having approximately 14000 points.but i want to claim Mathematical Puzzles: A Connoisseur's Collection. Iam lacking nearly 1000 points.Will this book be available for the next week also so that i can claim this book by increasing my points to 15000 next week
