Seeing all problems of lower levels

Next week, I'll be levels 5 in both Geometry and Combinatorics, and Number Theory, which I'm pretty excited about. However, what if there are very little problems I can solve in those levels? It might be the case that level 4 is more interesting for me, just because I understand the questions better. However, I probably wouldn't downgrade on purpose, because it took effort to get there, which I would not want to give up.

I would like to request the ability to see (and solve) all problems of the levels lower than yours. This way, a promotion cannot lead to dissatisfaction, and there would be no reason to downgrade purposely. Of course, we shouldn't get rid of the level system: it was very encouraging for me, I wanted to solve very difficult problems. Also, level 4 problems are not very easy at all, so it would only mean more challenges on this website, and thus more fun. :)

What do you think? And if you have considered it, what was the reason for not implementing it?

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.

Me too! I'm going to get Level 5 math problems from next week as well! But I can assure you that you've got nothing to worry about. This is because there is no special problem set for level 5. There is a lot of over-lapping between levels. A problem worth 125 points is solved by users of level 2, 3, 4 and 5! The toughest problem you faced on level 4 was worth 230 points. On level 5, you'll have to solve two of those and a tougher problem worth 300 points. That happens to be the toughest problem on level 5.

So, happy problem solving!

That's good. But still, having more challenging problems would be great. :)

I agree with your post completely. Allowing access to see lower-level problems gives users more opportunity to strengthen their problem-solving skills and math knowledge, and also to see where their submitted problems are being featured.
