1. I think the best method is to start in the middle and then go in a random direction. If the loss decreases, go in that same direction. If it increases, go in the opposite direction. Repeat this process until the minimum loss is reached.

2. If i start in the rght direction, I am usually able to get it within 12 trie*, *ut if i start in the wrong direction, it will be much harder for me to get to the minimum loss.

3. This challenge helped me understand gradient decent better because it walked me through the actual process of finding the global minimum.
