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.

If a>b>c>d then we can remove the modulus from both the equations. Rearranging the last equation we get our expression, but that would give us the value to be 1.
Cases is not really a gud option (24 cases is just tooooo much).

Is the answer 98,99,100???

Don't know that.
Can u state an example for each of the values? It would be really helpful.
consider a>b>c>d, then plug in to open mod. then solve by cases. ans is 1,98,99,100.

where did you get the question from . actually you need not solve 24 cases.most of them are same

I was able to prove that 0≤∣a−d∣+∣b−c∣≤100
I coudn't go any further. I have not verified the equality cases either.
happy bday
