Mathathon 2020 Prizes and Community Board

Exactly what the title says...........its for the Mathathon 2020

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.

Jeff gets $2$ nd in my contest so I think that he's getting two different prizes, right?

You guys will get a problem where you are the main character

choose a theme or color and I'll make it :)

A Former Brilliant Member - 1 year ago

If it is okay for you, I'd like the colour purple. The subject of the problem does not matter and gender: male.

Lorenz W. - 1 year ago

Wow, I'm honoured! Thanks so much!

Subject of the problem: Inequalities. Colour: Red is good. Gender: Male.

Elijah L - 1 year ago

You can also choose the subject of the problems, except quantitative finance, i don't know a heck about it

Also, as I don't want to assume genders in my problems, please tell me your gender, as it would be awkward if Jeff was a girl and i called Jeff a boy in the problem :) LOL
