Valued Expositor

18-Oct-2026

Woah, a quadruple post. How exciting! I guess that's what happens when you have a lot of things in your life going on at the same time, eh?

I recently unlocked Valued Expositor on Project Euler, which is the award you get when you receive 100 total kudos across all your discussion thread posts. Arguably rarer than your typical problem-solving ones.

I don't really care about awards all that much, they're just shiny digital trinkets that I occasionally look at. But admittedly, I did check my kudos page from time to time once I knew I was within striking distance. Much like how I impatiently wait for the price of Bitcoin to go up, but that's a story for another time.

Obviously I don't contribute nothingburgers to the forums, but thankfully I no longer feel (ever-so-slightly, don't worry) compelled to post something for every upcoming problem, so that's good.

Also, I technically have Gold Medal too. "Technically" once, because, well, it doesn't exist anymore, but also "technically" twice, because my 2nd place on Problem #998 turned into 1st place after the person ahead of me got removed for blatant usage of AI.

Now I have every award except two: Bright Spark, which is for contributing to the development of one problem, and Brainstormer, which is the same but for three problems. You can connect the dots yourself.

That's all from me for now. You've unlocked a new ending.

Ending 1/4 – Kudos to You
