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.

Hi Dhelia! Several groups have invested in Brilliant.org because they believe we have a lot of potential to be successful and change the world in a powerful way. Here is an interview with Chamath, our lead investor and close advisor.

Suyeon K, your talk on TEDx was excellent. I know Brilliant will succeed, after all such ambitions deserve to succeed.

Hi Dhelia,

As of now there are a little over 100,000 users of Brilliant, and growing every minute. A little bit less than Aman estimated, but no insignificant amount. Brilliant is a startup, and we operate off of investment capital. From our FAQ

How does Brilliant make money?

In the future, some features on the site may cost money. In addition, schools and companies may be able to pay to recruit our users through our site. We will certainly alert all of our users well in advance before we implement either of these changes. Right now, we are focused on making the best site possible for bright, motivated people everywhere to push their intellect in math and physics.

can you keep the services free for current users?

Aditya Jain - 8 years ago

Most likely, all the features you currently enjoy on the site will be free to everyone into the future.
