Shouldn't we list all the alternative solutions down as well?

I'm new to this site and already became a fan of it within a few minutes. I have a few thoughts I would like to share.

Whenever we read the worked solution, we could only see one answer from a particular user. And I've got to admit, their answers are always very elegant. But there are usually other solutions posted by other users as well. I would like to suggest to the staffs that users should be able to browse through all the alternative solutions. We could also learn something from their solutions as well. I propose that the submitted worked solutions should be arranged from good to best (or vice versa).

Any thoughts on this?

For example:

For the solutions given below, Repeated Squaring and Binomial Theorem are equally elegant in my opinion.

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.
