What will happen if you use up all the tries in Techniques?

What will happen if you use up all the tries in the Techniques section? I don't have the dare to try it.

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.

In order to get stars in a technique, you must get all of the problems right in a corresponding set. Don't worry, if you fail to get all the problems in the set, all you have to do is unlock another set by inviting another person.

Can I do it again or something or I can't(never) get the stars again?

Ying Xuan Eng - 8 years, 1 month ago

Probably you cant do it again .So you don't get stars for that section - set 1 or set 2 or set 3

Brilliant should actually let you use points in exchange for some chances.

Ying Xuan Eng - 8 years, 1 month ago

@Ying Xuan Eng – It is a nice idea

shaheed vh - 8 years, 1 month ago

@Ying Xuan Eng – This is not a trading company. So i feel 3 chances is good.

@Nikhil Tr – Since we only get stars in core mathematics ,something related to points should be there

shaheed vh - 8 years, 1 month ago

i think brilliant shud introduce more sets they'll help to remove off the dust from those concepts we learnd in 6th-7th std. sch as ratio proportion etc.... i too haven't attempted more sets...in sum have attempted juz basic and in sum intermediate.....

You will lose the chance to get stars for that section

shaheed vh - 8 years, 1 month ago

More sets. More chances.

Matthew Lipman - 8 years, 1 month ago

yeah i v lost it for polynomial functions and two othr techniques....:(
