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.

Comments

what is surprising is that you know the exact value of the points you had before..

Please see Points and Ratings by Sue.

We incorrectly computed your points in the change that we made two weeks ago. Rather than awarding existing users 125 points * # of problems you solved, we awarded 125 points * # of problems you viewed. Oops. In any case, we rolled back the change and recomputed, using the same method outlined in the above note. Apologies in advance for any confusion this caused.

They messed the points up and accidently multiplied the number of problems you viewed instead of the number of problems you solved. @Ashtik Mahapatra
