Why is there no geometry?

The Mathematics Olympiad questions used to be split into two parts. One of them had geometry in it, but now there are three parts but non have any geometry. Is there going to come a specific section for geometry or what? And why have they been taken out in the first place?

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 asked the same question few days back and I was told by somebody that it is going to appear within one month.

It was taken down when they split the 2 main subjects back then (Algebra and Number Theory ; Geometry and Combinatorics) and split each subject on their own. Geometry was put down because they needed time to get new questions for better quality (at least from what I read).
