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.

IQ has nothing to do with maths, people are good at maths with their 3 A's Ability, Attention and Aggressiveness. And without these A's the person who give time to maths are good at maths with passion towards it.

You could say that ,people good at maths have high IQ.cause it need'nt to be good at maths even if they high IQ.

Yes, it's required... But not only IQ what is related to Verbal–linguistic & Logical–mathematical Intelligences... Additionally are required the Musical–rhythmic & harmonic, Visual–spatial, Bodily–kinesthetic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Naturalistic and Existential Intelligences.
