While the ultimate goal of this site is learning, we can often find great motivation in pursuing accolades and through competition with our peers.
Wisdom and Gravitas
Each problem is assigned as certain number of Gravitas points, as listed on the Problems Page.
Problems which have been solved by less people have greater Gravitas. Gravitas values are recalculated each time a user solves a new problem.
When you solve a particular problem, you will obtain Widsom equal to that problem's Gravitas. However, note that by solving the problem the Gravitas will become recalculated and you so the amount you receive may be slightly different than the amount originally promised. Additionally all users' Wisdom is always being updated to reflect the sum of the current Gravitas for all problems they have solved, so don't be alarmed if your Wisdom changes without warning.
Visit the Ranking Page to a list of all users sorted by their Wisdom.
