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.

Hi Satish,
The weekly problem cycle currently does run from Sunday to Sunday Pacific Standard Time. I believe that means that it runs from early monday morning to monday your time. In either scenario you get the same amount of time to work on the problems, though I guess some people might get more weekend time to work on a problem set at the beginning of a cycle than others. We will se if there are things we can do to make that more fair.
What if the problem sets would be given early saturday morning? It would be a great start of my weekend, and that way I can concentrate more on school during the week, for I'll have finished my problems already :)
