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.

Agreed, and that's why we decided to go with 8 questions per topic (20 total per week) as a reasonable amount that students can handle. I certainly do not need parents bugging me about their kids being up at 2am working on Brilliant problems :)
Each set that you get is a mix across different levels. If you look at the featured solution, or even the "also solved by" list, you will see that those students are at different levels than you.

If you're in level 5, the top 50 will not include students from other levels, but if you're not, it may include students from other levels because they might level-up upon solving all/few problems for that week.

It should not include students from other levels; the leader board by level is based on how students who started out the week in that particular level performed.
However, note that since we update the levels displayed in the profile during the week, students who have been doing well (and hence appear high in the leader board) could be due for a promotion. As such, the Level 4 leader board could list several 'level 5' students. These students did the Level 4 problem set, and were promoted during the week.

You can't :(
Brilliant is only a supplement to your personal studies, in my opinion.

You already are viewing problems from lower and higher levels.
Come back every week for more practice and more points.
