Black Hole badges

Whoa pumpitendo that is crazy!!!!

Well xyzyyxx and Yechidoth Taw Immodicus, you guys tried your best but pumpitendo just beat you guys to getting 3 BBs...

Try getting first to 4 BBs while I try getting to level 50...

pumpitendo WAIT WHAT that's AWESOME! Congrats on getting 3 BHBs! Now the challenge is four XD Also your dark mode is doing some crazy things with the badge images lol, I'll add this to the wiki real quick

Aaryan Bhattar xyzyyxx pumpitendo Olamoth Artyom Tetrakleitos Advait Pillay I just finished running the calculations... getting to 4 Black Hole Badges as of right now is basically impossible. Let's list them out real quick:

Atlas: 5000 Mastered Skills (difficult but attainable)

Artemis: 7500 Mastered Skills (impossible, KA only has 6800-7000 skills that can be Mastered)

Tesla: 10,000,000 Energy Points (possible)

Maelstrom: 4950 Proficient Skills (possible)

Herculean: Attain Proficiency in all skills to date (impossible in theory due to hidden skills and the sheer amount of skills needed, all ~7300)

Galileo: Create 3000 Videos (impossible unless you're on the KA team, but as far as I recall only Sal himself actually has this badge)

Is Sal: Be Salman Khan (clearly impossible)

Unless you guys are comfortable with waiting about two years for Artemis to become possible, your only hope is Herculean. And didn't we conclude Herculean was a custom badge? I believe that doesn't change much requirement-wise, nowadays a lot of custom badges are just hidden by default until attained, but either way it will be very near impossible to get it.

Supersonic Seven yeah, Artemis might not be possible. But then again I just recently found a reservoir of obscure content, so I have a weird conviction that it might be possible? Idk I'll have to grind for Artemis myself

Ye, but we'll see in the future who the first to get 4 BB's would be.

Yup! lost the race, congrats pumpitendo!

The KA Wiki pages have been updated!!!!!
Maelstrom (xyzyyxx)

Atlas (xyzyyxx)

Black Hole Badges Tips (Me)
[I made a bunch of edits as most information on the page was outdated or inaccurate, i also incorporated xyzyyxx 's edits into it.]

Ye, thats nice.

Thanks a lot.

Advait Pillay It is likely that the badge was a self-award, after all last I checked he only had some 3 or 4 million Energy Points and I'd think you'd have at least a couple more million before you'd reasonably get Atlas. Of course it has been a few months since I checked, so I can't be sure now.

I am unable to understand who you are referring to Supersonic Seven.

I was talking about Andres Maradiaga sorry.

Oh, I, too, am unaware of his progress. I think xyzyyxx mentioned him in his edits of Atlas. Both the Maelstrom and Atlas edits were by him.

Andrew (username: andres.maradiaga) seems to be a KA staff member, who awarded himself a bunch of black hole badges. He awarded himself Tesla, as apparently he doesn't have 10 million energy points, and he probably awarded himself Atlas and Herculean. I am unaware of any others.

Who new that staff members would just give themselves whatever they wanted.

Ye, it’s kinda unfair. Oh and he has Galileo as well. :/

xyzyyxx Yeah Andres last I checked seemed to have every Black Hole Badge except Is Sal.

His profile is privated now, so I have no clue

At one point I was able to hack into the codebase and view private profiles for a short time, but I gave that up long ago plus the exact method I used I think got patched.

haxxor lol XD

but anyway, i do have a faint memory of seeing a profile with the badge "herculean", so yeah

Supersonic Seven

Did he actually have those badges or were they spoofed? It's (maybe not anymore) possible to put fake badges in your showcase.

I.. never thought about that, oh wait that might actually be how Elijah Daniels put Is Sal

xyzyyxx, who is Elijah Daniels?

Elijah Daniels (ElijahDaniels15) is a Support Advocate who has Tesla, but for some reason his showcase shows Is Sal instead

I see...

So he/she is a hacker. Just keep the tesla badge. It's already a big flex... Unless it was a mistake by KA.

Hello there. Just wondering if there are any updates on BHB's as it has been a while. Any progress on Atlas, Yechidoth Taw Immodicus? How about you xyzyyxx, how far are you from Maelstrom?

Hi! I'm still studying right now, I don't know exactly how many mastered skills I have, I'm at Level 113 (075/113) my activity report says I have 4,090 masterd skills, so I guess I have at least that, possible more, something live 4,090 ≤ 4,999.

Also, I have surpassed J Helston in the energy point leadboard at khanacademy fandom, but I do not have permission to edit the page, and it's not updated.

I've been grinding for Artemis, currently I'm at ~5370 mastered skills, also how do you see your activity report
