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'm stuck on lv12, the multicolorful one...

Hehehe, I'm stuck there too. The music is starting to make me feel a little loony so I'm giving it a rest.

I highly recommend getting past level 4. It gets very amusing after that.

Sorry my post has distracted your staff ;-)! (Apparently, I must be getting the hang of this "social media" thing....)

@Scott Kominers – Hahaha. That's okay, at brilliant it is generally professionally acceptable to procrastinate on the job if you are doing the recreational math of our members (I take frequent geometry breaks). The velociraptor is totally within the bounds of my job description.

@Peter Taylor – Yet another proof that Brilliant is an amazing place, QED.

Scott Kominers - 7 years, 2 months ago

@Scott Kominers – Naw, that's just Pete doing his job :)
