Percy Jackson's Message Board

This was actually inspired by Aniket Sanghi's Message board, please check his board out - Aniket Sanghi's Message Board.

This note is for everyone to post their queries about me, or my solutions, what software's I use, or it can be used to share problems and notes with me, and anything you want to share.

You can share ideas, thoughts and I repeat - anything you want to share! You can chat with me about any math or science problem, but I probably won't be able to help you anyway!

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.

@Percy Jackson How did you reach stumble upon his profile. I mean, he was active almost 2 years ago on brilliant. Although many of his problems are still top searches. :)

I found it from your when 2 lines meet series

A Former Brilliant Member - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

Ohk, yes I forgot I do mention him as my inspiration in most of my questions. Did you solve the question of that series? @Percy Jackson

Aryan Sanghi - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

@Aryan Sanghi – Nah, I can't solve most problems, Math isn't really my thing. I'm more of a computer programming tech guy :)

A Former Brilliant Member - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

@A Former Brilliant Member – Then try this problem Brute Force Fails

Aryan Sanghi - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

@Aryan Sanghi – That's Math Code, I make games, for instance, I replicated the exact code of Google's Dino game with every Easter egg and update ever to have been found. I also made a multiplayer car racing game called Horizon, but I haven't uploaded these on Google play, because I want my first game to be the best :)

A Former Brilliant Member - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

@A Former Brilliant Member – Here is a Pokemon-game that I made all by myself from scratch using pygame and python. Do check it out. :)

Aryan Sanghi - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

@Aryan Sanghi – Wow, so much python! Cool! Must've been time-taking! What was the first game you made? @Aryan Sanghi

A Former Brilliant Member - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

@A Former Brilliant Member – My first game was a casual tic-tac-toe which I made using C++, but didn't had much GUI, but it had AI.

Then, I made a snake-and-ladder which isn't much cool, but was my first game using pygame and python.

You could check out my github profile Github Profile

Aryan Sanghi - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

@A Former Brilliant Member – I would really like to try out any game you made till now. Can you share with me your game?

Aryan Sanghi - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

@Aryan Sanghi – Also, I use Javascript and SQL, not Python or any version of C

A Former Brilliant Member - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

@A Former Brilliant Member – That is really good. You should learn programming at young age as its very useful.

Aryan Sanghi - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

@Aryan Sanghi – I am currently working on a Zombie shooter type game, for play store :)

A Former Brilliant Member - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

@A Former Brilliant Member – Ohk, when you complete, do share the link with me. :)

I've heard that this JEE exam in India is a big thing, your brother must've been awesome to get a 100-ish rank!

A Former Brilliant Member - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

He really worked very hard for 4 years. IIT is a dream of every Engineer in India, after MIT of your country. IIT entrance exam is really hard.

@Syed Hussain - this note is not exactly for Latex but I'll answer you - I don't know, some places you can write Latex as it will be inbuilt, some places it might not be possible, I'm no Latex expert :)

A Former Brilliant Member - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

This is kinda off topic but in the "Languages" section in ur profile, you need to add Greek. Immediately. Unless you want to get fried into ash by...well you get it..

Kumudesh Ghosh - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

Thanks! I didn't know that was possible!

A Former Brilliant Member - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

do I need a Latex compiler to be able to write Latex outside of brilliant.org?

Syed Hussain - 10 months, 3 weeks ago

$\checkmark$

How do you post a question to the community???

Lâm Lê - 10 months ago

Post a question

Post a note/discussion

@Lin Le - You can see a 'Start Contributing' link in the community tab. It will take you to the 'Create Problem' page. To make a note, you'll see a 'Discussion' button near a 'Problem' button in the 'Share Problem' page. Here's a pic :)

A Former Brilliant Member - 10 months ago

LOL I'm typing this on a tablet so there is no button like that LOL.

Lâm Lê - 8 months, 1 week ago

@Lâm Lê – Ok, then you can use the links I provided above the pic.

Tomorrow's my B'day and the anniversary of the defeat of Kronos!
