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.

i know some institute have displayed its answer (a) 1280

but i got (b) 1284 by this logic:

add number to sum of its even digits (even-valued, Not even-placed) to get next number

sorry answer is wrong plz try again

Jai Gupta - 7 years ago

answer is 1284 because if we add all even numbers which are given in the term the get this answer

like 1234 even numbers are 2,4 then add 2+4=6 so add 6 in 1234 then we get 1240
