Practice - 2nd Life = Death

When doing practice problems and you fail the 2nd time, the website won't give you the opportunity to see the right answer. This is extremely frustrating, I hope this'll be fixed/changed.

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.

You can view the solution by closing the overlay. (Click the "X" in the top right of the white box.) Hope that helps!

Is that a new feature? You didn't have that before. Thanks a lot, though, it was really annoying before.

Yes, it's fairly new. Glad it's better now. :)

I don't like that either. Fortunately, most practices are just the same set of 2-5 problems but with different numbers. You will undoubtedly come upon a question like this again.

So that we can get familiar with the question style and we can get the right answer when we get that particular style of question....

I think that is because they might ask you the question again.

Nope. You can press the x on the upper right of the RESTART SKILL box.
