I realize that the points cost for items just increased, but I'm puzzled by this notice. It's been there for a while.
It says I'm level 4, but doesn't give me the option to claim a lanyard! Is it because I have too few points? (3,000)
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.

Although you are currently level 4 in Algebra and Trigonometry, you have not achieved "Level 4 or 5 in any topic within the Olympiad Mathematics or Physics categories." This is the source of your problem.
It's just a glitch. You are level 4 in Trig and that's probably what it recognized. Nonetheless, you still aren't level 4 or 5 in Olympiad mathematics or physics. Plus, to level up, you basically need to complete all the problems for two consecutive weeks in an area.

Yep, but why would it say so if I hadn't achieved one? Maybe it's updated for next week? I did well-ish on one of the problem sets this week.
