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.

Same here. I don't know if this is a bug or if it's intended but the "best of" accounts showing problems of all difficulty instead of "the best problems near" my "level". Resharing this.
To the staff: another problem: there's absolutely nothing on my Geometry and Mechanics feed. Does it have something to do with the new ''filters" you're testing?
EDIT: I'm not talking about the tags. It seems that the "best of x" feeds are showing everything they have shared and not only the problems near my level.
EDIT 2: Add Electricity and Magnetism to that list too. The feed is completely empty.
Same here. My Geometry, Mechanics, E&M feeds are completely empty. Also computer science feed has only about three problems while there were several yesterday.
I hope this problem is fixed fast!!
This is the problem with me too. I am currently rated 1735 in number theory while in the Best of's feed I am being shown only problems of Level 1 and 2

Thanks for bringing this up. It is a separate issue (i.e. not related to selecting of tags). This is not the intended behavior, and we will fix it.

Thanks everyone. I believe that this has been fixed now. Let me know if this remains an issue for you.
When you select a tag, you get to see all problems that have been tagged with it.
This is the problem with me too. I am currently rated 1735 in number theory while in the Best of's feed I am being shown only problems of Level 1 and 2
Thanks Calvin Sir for fixing this.
