Problem in rating system

Initially, this week, in Number theory and Algebra, I had a nice rating almost equal to level 5. I had solved all questions, except 1 question viewed but unattempted in both subjects. Since Tuesday, these 2 questions were undone. And the problem is, my rating in both the subjects is decreasing intensively, that is, almost 200 points till now! I don't even know why has it happened. If it is supposed to be the same way, then Brilliant staff could tell me why. But if this some sort of a glitch, staff must fix it, as it may further reduce and demote me! I have already lost extreme number of rating. Had those 200 rating not vanished, I would have been on level 5! I hope this will surely be explained to me by the Birlliant staff, waiting for a soon reply, especially before next week, so that the problem doesn't get delayed to one more week!

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.

Hi Akshat,

It looks like your rating has been dropping because you have been viewing lots of problems outside your level. When you view these problems it affects your rating exactly like . We will fix it to better indicate this by displaying ratings on problems that aren't in your problem set. You can recover your rating, and improve it, by solving the problems you viewed.

Sir, till date i m solving only problems of my level. How can i get acess to see and solve problems of higher level...

What! :O

I have viewed many many problems outside my level, because only 4 problems in each subject every week is not enough food for my mind! Though I have solved most of them, the ones unsolved have got me.

I personally feel this should be changed. I mean, rating should not decrease on viewing a problem outside the problem set, though it should be reduced on giving the wrong answer. I would really like to suggest the staff to make this change!

I didn't know about this at all. So just like every week, I have been solving problems outside my level and didn't understand why my rating was going down. Just like you, my rating has gone down by 400-500. But now that I know, I hope it won't go down again.

Yeah, this is my story too. I liked solving outside problems more than the inside ones. Don't you think this should be changed? Refer to my reply to Peter Sir's comment.
