How do you post a solution to a problem?

How do you post a solution to a problem? I don't see a button anywhere for it. I also checked the Help page and didn't find anything.

Easy Math Editor

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.

Thank you! So I guess the problem I am having then, is that in Step 3 I am not actually getting the option for adding a solution, even after correctly answering the question. Is there anything else I can do to get a solution posted?

Leave it under a comment of a solution. If we like it, we will convert it into a solution!

Brilliant Mathematics Staff - 6 years, 1 month ago

You can't insert images when replying though right?

Ian Myers - 6 years, 1 month ago

@Ian Myers – I have restored your solution and added a line of "This solution is being edited".

Currently, we do not offer an easy way of uploading an image when making a comment. You could always use the markdown format of ![title](url link) to display an image.

Hi Ian,

I saw that you wrote up a solution which concluded with "Enter. I am not sure what is going on here. My guess is that it's a bug." Furthermore, you deleted this solution soon after posting it.

We allow a maximum of 1 solution to be posted per person per problem, which is why you are currently unable to post another solution.

If you would like to be un-delete your solution, please let me know. You would be able to edit your solution by clicking on the edit button at the bottom (similar to editing a comment).

I am facing the same problem, nowhere I am getting any option to post my answer. Fix this

As far as I can tell, you can only post a solution if you have solved that problem.

Why don't I get an option to post solutions or comment in Daily Challenges and Community problems (I get an option to comment and in a few question only I get an option to post an explanation in community)?

Prabhat Singh - 5 months ago

Hi, you're only able to post a solution if you have submitted the correct answer.

Brilliant Mathematics Staff - 5 months ago

Despite that, I do not get any option in daily challenges! I just get the option to comment on someone's explanation. (In community questions I am able to post explanations)

Prabhat Singh - 5 months ago

@Prabhat Singh – Hi Prabhat, I just checked your attempts log, you should be able to submit solutions (on your computer) to the recent daily challenges:

If you are not able to submit your solution to any of these Daily Challenges, please send us a screenshot or screen video of the bug happening from your device to [email protected].

@Brilliant Mathematics – Thanks for your assistance, I use an Android smartphone and perhaps that's why I am not able to do so.

Prabhat Singh - 5 months ago

Is there no option for FAQs on the Brilliant app for Android? I had to Google up to reach to this zone and on clicking the link, it opens in app but I dont find any such option in the app by myself. Why?

Prabhat Singh - 5 months ago

Hi Prabhat, I think the quickest way to get an answer is by contacting the support team:

How do we post a question on Brilliant app on Android? I don't find an option to do so.
