I've encountered a problem on the new version of Brilliant. Whenever I solve a problem, my ratings don't increase at all. Can an admin please fix this issue and give me the points that I earned? Thanks in advance.
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.

We are still testing out allowing members to set ratings for their own problems. There is an initial trial period in which answering the problem will not affect your rating, and will merely update the rating of the problem. This allows us to avoid major abuses, like an individual setting problems at level 5 (esp with clearly wrong answers) and answering it to increase their own rating. If you have been solving newly published problems, that would most likely be the reason.
Otherwise, can you be specific and let me know which problems (or topics) your ratings did not update? Almost all the problems reshared by the Best of account should affect your rating.
