Multistage Problem Leaderboard

As noted by Trevor B, if more than 15 people solve the final problem, they will disappear from the solved list for the problem, making it difficult to track the leaderboard if many people solve it at once. Below I will post a comment that you should reply to in order to get on the leaderboard. The first person to solve it will reply to my comment, the second will reply to the first solver's comment and so on, saying that they have solved it. If you feel like it you can also post a screenshot of the current solvers at the time that you solved it. If you forget to comment here it's okay, I will try my best to keep on top of who are the first ten solvers.

Easy Math Editor

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 won't be trying this, but it sounds like a nice idea. There is one problem: I know of a way to cheat. I am not sure whether I should post it here.

It would be great to know how so I can patch it up. Could you please send it to me in an e-mail to [email protected]. Thanks!

Cole Coupland - 7 years, 5 months ago

Actually now that I think about it I think I know what it is but could you still please send me the e-mail to confirm that they are the same thing. I am not sure if this problem is fixable, I'll have to see.

@Cole Coupland – OK sent.
