ok lets share how many problems u solved in aggregate this week on brilliant

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 can't understand how you people so easily get into level 5 in NT and GAC. I am unable to solve one problem each week in NT, however hard I try. It's annoying me really.Getting on my nerves. Any suggestions ?

This week.. I have solved 18 Questions out of 20 ..... I lost 2 Questions in Geometry ... their cost = 230+180 = 410 ...

If I have answered those Questions I would have got 410 points more....

superman son - 8 years ago

well situation changed, found miscalculation and found a way to approach another problem, so now it is 19

Nicolae Sapoval - 8 years ago
