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.

Before posting a new discussion, it's always better to search the old discussions to see if it's been already covered. This is now really easy since we have the amazing search bar.
Here is an older discussion that answers your question.
I tried to do so exactly following the steps said by you in your previous comment, but only to discover that the pointer becomes a mere red circle(I don't know the exact term). I cannot alter that information. Can the admin. help me out directing me to some link ?
Can you elaborate a little bit? Because that shouldn't happen. I have personally changed my school on my profile. So I'm trying to make sense of what happened to you.

Except for that every other information that I entered while signing up is alterable. On hovering the cursor over that field, it turns a red circle with a slanted red diameter like ⊘ except for the slash turned 90 degrees left. The field background is grey.

Nah, can't help you with that. I think you should send an email to support@brilliant.org and tell them about your problem. It'll be better if you send them a screenshot of what you're seeing.

Thanks anyways in giving the steps. Can you tell me how to take the screen shot ? I forgot it. I only remember we have to use print screen.
