Top 50 list

Why is it that the Algebra and Trigonometry top 50 list only shows 4 people?

#Algebra #HelpMe! #Math

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.

Because there are only a few people in your level. :)

But I'm not in there,and I solved all the questions except 1 question.Plus,there are a lot more than 4.

Tan Li Xuan - 8 years, 3 months ago

But maybe only 4 solved >1 or so problems?

Zi Song Yeoh - 8 years, 3 months ago

@Zi Song Yeoh – Can you explain that?I don't understand.Or maybe you misunderstood me.I meant I solved every question except 1 question.

and maybe you are upgraded to next level in calculus?

Nishanth Hegde - 8 years, 3 months ago

@Nishanth Hegde – I can't even do the 2 points question in level 1 calculus.So,I probably won't be going anywhere in calculus soon.

Most are in level 5(> 300 users)

Zi Song Yeoh - 8 years, 3 months ago

How did you come to know that(no pun intended)?

Sambit Senapati - 8 years, 3 months ago

Zi Song Yeoh - 8 years, 3 months ago

@Zi Song Yeoh – now its 345 :)

I think all similar levels in different subjects should consist of questions of similar difficulty, be it olympiad or curriculum problems.
