Spring Live Challenge

Will there be a Spring Live Challenge? A couple months ago,I remember seeing something that said information would be released soon so I was just wondering if this is still happening. Thanks.

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.

Howdy Alan,

Sorry for the slow reply. We did say a few months ago that we were planning a Spring Live Challenge. We definitely intend to have some form of live competition in the future, but are still hashing out what we want it to be. We have not set a date for a competition.

When we do throw a competition(s) it/they might be very different from the last one. There are a whole lot more potential participants now, than there were in the fall of a greater diversity of skill/interest. We are debating various formats. In general, the site itself is going to become more competitive in the next couple of weeks(we hope in the best of ways, not the worst). We are still scoping out the feasibility of various options of live format(which is a little more fun we assume, but way more labor intensive on our end).

The short answer: There will not be a live challenge in the next several weeks. That doesn't mean we will never throw a live competition again. When we do, it might be a different format e.g. smaller competitions, regional competitions, form teams on the site, restricted subject matter etc...

Thank you for replying. I look forward to seeing the exciting changes that you guys will bring to the site.
