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.

i wasn't shure if there's more than 1 way to solve it so I posted the problem on "notes"

the answer that I thought of was to ask them "if i were you, which way would I go".

You should ask them if they were a muggle. Ask the dementor first because he will say no and the muggle will have no idea what you are talking about... P.S Hey there Lucia!! - Sophie :)))))

You should ask what would the other person say, and then do the opposite of what they say
