Unrated problems

Don't you get points for unrated problems? I solved a couple of them but saw no change in my stats.

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.

If the asker doesn't assign a rating when they post their question then the question is assigned 10 points automatically, until enough people have viewed/attempted/solved the question, at which point there is an algorithm that decides how many points the problem is worth.

If the asker does assign a rating when they post their question then the question is assigned 100 points regardless of the initially assigned rating. Once enough people have viewed/attempted/solved the question then the aforementioned algorithm decides how many points the problem is worth.

Yes 100 points

Unrated problems will not affect your rating, since they are unrated.

All problems will give you at least 10 points (These are not ratings)

If I posted a question gave it a topic and a difficulty level... But then too in preview it's showing unrated, what does that mean ????

Mridul Chaturvedi - 6 years ago

All problems start off being unrated, until sufficient number of people have solved it in order for us to determine a suitable level for it.

If it states "Level pending (100 points)", then it just means that not enough people have worked on the problem as yet.

@Calvin Lin – Thank you
