My Last Post

A long and boring note ahead , so stop reading if you want !

I have been seeing this same order ever since I joined B'ant .

I had this small doubt .

Can anyone defeat(sorry for my liberal use of words) the Annihilator a.k.a Jon Haussman sir ????

He is one of those people whom I respect very much and hope that maybe I can also become a bit(at the veryyyyy least) like him .

From what I have seen , Pi Han Goh is a very serious contender for it . AK (real name : Abdul Rahman Khaled) was my previous choice , but he's not active any more . (He seems to have created another account of the name : Abdel Rahman Khaled) .

Marios Patsios and Gabriel Merces too !

Yash Singhal , the Indian with the highest points is another candidate for it along with Aditya Raut . Sharky Kesa (who's gonna pile up 400000 points in a few hours or so) and Trevor B and Pranjal are the people with the next highest scores .

Let's see if by the time I'll be back (if at all) , if there's someone who can overtake Jon sir !

Note for the Moderators : I just wanted to post something on B'ant b4 leaving , so I hope u won't mind me doing this ^_^

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.

Gonna miss u Azhaghu. It was nice having you around with all your "positivity" (dunno, I'm bad with words). tbh: You're a really nice person and it was great meeting you.

Brilliant genius population -1.

P.S. Before you leave, can I have your brain?

Trevor Arashiro - 6 years, 2 months ago

Hi Trevor . I'll miss u too ! But I might be back in a year or two .

How do u guys do it ? I'm never too good with this gifs thing !

A Former Brilliant Member - 6 years, 2 months ago

@Trevor Arashiro , You are not the only one In line, You have a tough Competition. We're In line for his brain too :P @Azhaghu Roopesh M , Why on Earth Are you leaving? Whatever the reason may be , Please try to return As soon as possible. It has become a habit watching you become the first ones to Solve a problem. All the best for your future!

Mehul Arora - 6 years, 2 months ago

remove the spaces and you're good

btw, this better not be a late april fools joke :3 lol.

I have no clue as to why you are deciding to do this.. But if you think it is what you want @Azhaghu Roopesh M , then all the best man! I thought along your lines too, but I decided that I'll stay active in brilliant, maybe not frequently, but a few problems now and then will do some good.

Hope to talk to you and maybe even meet you real soon.

Raghav Vaidyanathan - 6 years, 2 months ago

Ok , I'm not surrendering or something on the same lines . I just want to give some time to some other imp things . Pls don't misunderstand my actions .

And it's not as if it's an easy decision to make .

All my frnds , thnx for ur support , this is my last comment on B'ant , so I am ending this day with this comment

Bye :D

btw enjoy your trip to TN!!

Aditya Kumar - 6 years, 2 months ago

I'm sorry to hear that you're leaving, Azhaghu. Your knowledge and enthusiasm will be missed. :( Good luck with your "other important things", and I hope to see you back on Brilliant in the future. :)

Brian Charlesworth - 6 years, 2 months ago

There's Marios Patsios with 689075 points, Gabriel Merces with 551795 points and Yash Singhal with 485930 points whom you seem to have missed.

Shabarish Ch - 6 years, 2 months ago

Thanks . U see I'm new to B'ant , so I don't know a lot of people around here .

Then why are you leaving?

Oh! Really? But a reason goes fine, I guess if it's worth to share because I still think there is something troll in it.

Kartik Sharma - 6 years, 2 months ago

Nothing troll in it.

Oh but a troll would have been perfect! Just joking! But yeah, you will be missed and whatever the reason may be, it is very courageous of you!

You completed a leap year streak?

Harsh Shrivastava - 6 years, 2 months ago

Yeah, that's right!

Why are you leaving brilliant???? At least you could provide us with your email address so that we may keep you in touch. Brilliant is loosing one of its "brilliant" members.

It is not as long as I expected it to be.

The only way the Annihilator would be defeated would be when he'd take a long break. He already has a head start and is very hard to defeat now.

Why are you leaving?

Agnishom Chattopadhyay - 6 years, 2 months ago

Dude there is one person who can compete with Jon Haussmann and his name is Miki Moningkai with 971,315 points and is active having streak of 271 days!

Kunal Joshi - 6 years, 2 months ago

Karan Shekhawat - 6 years, 2 months ago

Harshvardhan Mehta - 6 years, 2 months ago

Although I am almost a newcomer to this website, certainly I will miss your talent. I do hope you reconsider your decision and show up at least when a challenging problem or note appear and you can cast to us a new avenue to tackle it.

Paraphrasing General McArthur "..the old soldier will never die just fade away in the mist..." I feel it will also applicable to a dedicated mathematicians who never surrender...but I rather see you not fading away

Mariano PerezdelaCruz - 6 years, 2 months ago

Thank you for your compliments. I am an retired naval architect and engineer so my skill in math are limited, even I do love the subject. Health and works still does not give me too much time to enjoy its practice. Nevertheless I give you today a solution for the problem of the week October 30.

Mariano PerezdelaCruz - 3 years, 7 months ago

How is this your last post?

Annie Li - 3 years, 7 months ago

Your status says I will never surrender. Then why are you surrendering friend ?
