I suggest instead of using lifetime points to break a tie in the leaderboard, we should use rating to break ties. The reason is that people can gain points by just doing the Practice section and can gain a lot of points. For example, one can solve 60x4x4 = 960 problems (equivalent to 4800 points.) in an hour. Also, if someone joins Brilliant lately, he will not have many lifetime points. So, he will not have a chance to get into the leaderboard even he solved all the problems.

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.

I offer that it should be rank by lifetime points of latest 4 weeks (including the points from votes and others).
I agree.
