Thanks For 500 Followers!

I joined Brilliant about a year ago, and the reason I joined was to solve some other maths problems. Then I decided I could post some problems as well, so I posted my first problem, The 3 Villagers. It got quite some views and solvers who posted solutions, so I started posting more questions. At that time I had about 20 followers.

It wasn't until I posted Escape From The Well, the views and solutions posted started exploding. Maths enthusiasts were arguing if the answer was 39 or 38 days. I am very impressed that the question grabbed so much attention. Currently Escape From The Well has about 60000 views, 45000 attempts and 30000 solvers.

I started posting more questions but none have had beaten Escape From The Well. Taking a short break but I will be back to post more.

And finally, thank you all for 500 followers!

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.
