[Feature Request] Should a speed test be started on Brilliant?

A speed test is when a group of people come together to solve a set of math problems. The person/pair who solves it the fastest wins and on top of getting points for solving questions correctly, the winner(s) will get bonus points, e.g.+20 etc. for solving the problems quickly.

Adds an extra kick to math! :)

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.

I agree. but no points bet (I mean the loser doesn't lose any points) .

I realize that it's not the same -- specifically, the problems are at a simpler level (meant for middle school students) and it's a VERY fast pace -- but perhaps some people looking for this sort of thing would enjoy playing AoPS FTW (http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Edutainment/ftwcs3/Pages/tos.php)

I agree! It would be like a mini-competition!

I think the Live Challenge is a speed test.

Anyway, I would like it to be more often. :)
