yay!

congrats to those who have usernames!




no worries, AoPS (Art of Problem Solving) is completely free (unless you want online classes or purchasing a book from them!)





login at AoPS...



then click on Alcumus...



click on the Friends subtab under Alcumus...



add usernames in the box provided...



done!





you can add multiple usernames (friends) and when others invite you, you can see their stats!





then click on Get Problem and start working!



quests will sometimes show up.. ignore those (unless you're really attentative)



if you get the problem wrong twice (or click I Give Up)



a solution will show up





i'll try to describe the other features later...



have fun!!





DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT ON THE QUESTIONS!!



this earns you karma (the currency of Alcumus).



without it, you can't do anything (no vids, no problems, no bug reports, etc.)



commenting on a solution (the stars are at the bottom of the solution) will give you karma





getting a problem requires karma, looking at a vid (under the Lessons tab) requires karma (but you can comment on the vids), so don't waste karma!!



you start out with 1000 karma, so you're fine for a while





to earn karma, look at a vid and comment (by clicking on the stars) and type something in the comment box



this will give you 5 extra karma
