Join the smartest community of Steemit and train your brain with us!

You could have heard this before: your brain cells need stimulation if you do not want to lose them!

A few minutes every day is enough to keep your brain sharp as a knife and with a little wit and luck you can get your share from the

more than 60 SBD monthly reward pool.

How can you participate?

There is a game of different difficulty posted every weekday (from Monday to Friday) at a random time (but usually between 12 and 20 UTC+1). To participate you need to follow these three simple steps (answer + send a reply + upvote):

  1. Solve it and send your answer to me either as a private message on Discord (@ksolymosi#5065) or in an e-mail message ([email protected]). If you use Discord, please make sure that your Discord name is the same as your Steemit name, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to find you...


    Important! Don't post your solution under the post containing the puzzle because then you ruin the game of others!


    The answer should contain the identification number of the puzzle, too (for example DBG 51).


    It is possible to correct your answer by sending another solution, but only the last message will be considered for the reward. (So if you send the good answer first and then send another message with a wrong one, then, unfortunately, the wrong one will „participate" in the game.)


    Please do not ask clarifying questions. I do my best to phrase instructions as clearly as possible. So everyone should work from the amount of information given in the post.


    Answers should arrive until I post the results of the actual game (usually between 12.00 am and 9.00 pm UTC+1, but exceptions might occur...). This leaves approximately a 12-24 hour time window to send me your answers. (Answers arriving later will not be considered.)

  2. Give me a short reply under the post mentioning where I should look for your answer (for example „Answer sent via Discord").

  3. Upvote the post (if your upvote value is 0 then send a minimum amount, eg. 0.05 SBD by a bid bot).
    IMPORTANT! Those upvoting with 0 SBD will receive XP only but will not get the daily/weekly/monthly SBD rewards. So if you would like to get your share from the reward pool, then please contribute!

Easy, isn't it?

Daily XP calculation

The XP you receive will depend on how many good answers actually arrive for the given game. I will always count back from 10 XP. The first one sending in the correct answer receives 10 XP, the second 9 XP... and so on.

If there are more than 10 answers received, then everybody at the end will get 1 XP. If there are less than 10 answers received, then it was probably a difficult puzzle, so the remaining XP will be divided between the ones sending in their answers.

For example, if 5 correct answers are sent in, then 15 XP will be added to the ones sending in answers:

  • the first one gets 10+5 XP,
  • the second 9+4 XP,
  • the third 8+3 XP,
  • the fourth 7+2 XP
  • and the fifth 6+1 XP.

If there are 8 correct answers, then 3 XP will be added:

  • the first one gets 10+2 XP
  • the second one gets 9+1 XP
  • the third one gets 8 XP and so on...

Announcing the correct solution and the winners

Please do not expect any replies from me to your message containing the solution. I will not send answers to individual messages but announce the correct solution and the winners in the next DBG post (or Friday's games together with the weekly/monthly summary at weekends).

At weekends, I will also post weekly and monthly (and even "all time") leaderboards showing the summarized scores of all participants.

Join a great community, this is the summary of the total XP gained by the fantastic and super-witty persons already on the "all time" leaderboard:

You know I appreciate all the time and effort you put into these games and the rewards are great. I love to play.

I have a question about this rule here:
“Upvote the post (if your upvote value is 0 then send a minimum amount, eg. 0.05 SBD by a bid bot). IMPORTANT!”

Because I am one of many who has no value to my upvotes, do you expect us to send you something everyday (mon - fri) or can I send in a one time amount for the whole week? Also, the min you can send is 0.001. So would that be ok? Because your example of 0.05 per day would be a lot for a plankton like me.

Sending a one-time amount is also good and sending 0.01 per day also. The point here is to make a contribution the way you can. :-)

Sounds good. I’d be happy to contribute.
