can levels go down on their own???

i wasn't doing the problems for 2-3 weeks and now i find that my level in geometry and combinatorics has gone down from 4 to 3

can anybody tell me what the problem is.....please

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.

yes,it is a common thing in brilliant.if u don't do the sums for 2-3 weeks,then the staffs will definitely reduce ur level......so try to do all weeks to maintain ur level....

but i read it somewhere in the FAQ that levels are not reduced like that

but it was personally experienced by me and my friends,that if we didn't do the sums for 2 or 3 weeks,our level got reduced.....

Hello Rohan,

Our records show that you were active in geometry and combinatorics for the two weeks from Feburary 17th to March 4th. In that time you attempted most of the questions and answered only a third of the questions correctly. This triggered a level down. See this comment by Calvin explaining leveling down.

Please note that total inactivity will not level you down on Brilliant. Viewing more than four problems in a two week period and getting most of the questions you attempt wrong will level you down.
