Viewing an older problem

Hello, About 6 weeks ago in the Algebra section there was a problem about nickels, dimes, and quarters. It was something like 100 coins that total $2.99. Is it possible to view this problem again? I was unable to solve it in the past, I would like to try it again.

I looked on the solutions tab and I'm only able to go back 6 weeks, and I'm unable to find the question I'm looking for.

Side note, I think this was a level 3 problem, I am now level 2. Not sure if this relevant but thought it worth mentioning.

Thanks, Jason Davis

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.

It's an old one,the challenge masters won't use the same questions

So it's not possible to dig this back up to see it?

Jason,

Sorry for the slow response. In general it is possible to see the past solutions for all problems in the problem set that you viewed. If you cannot see it in the solutions tab, then there may be a bug associated with your leveling down. We are looking into it. I'll keep you posted here.

Jason,

You should be able to see it. The problem you are looking for is called Sum to $2.99 it was published seven weeks ago now, week December 24-30. Go back to this week in the solutions tab and click on any of the problems that are visible from those weeks. from there you should be able to move back and forth between that problem and any other problem you looked at that week with in the problem sets(click on the little gray dots above the problem).

Thanks for the replies. The last set of solutions I can view are from 'Six weeks ago December 31 to January 6'. I don't see a way to view any questions previous to that. Thanks, Jason

I have asked this before. If x,y and z are three unknowns for which two independant equations are given and the third condition is that all three are integers,how the third condition can be written in mathematical form and can we solve such equations?
