Welcome! On the right, you'll find fun and
challenging problems that require critical thought.
None of the problems involve a 'trick' definition, but none the
less you'll need to think creatively to find the solution. Each
problem is star-rated according to its difficulty, with one star being
easy and five being extremely hard.
If you can't do one of the problems, don't worry. This website
is meant more as a learning tool than as an examination! Bear in mind
that academics often learn from each other and ask questions when they
don't understand something. It's more useful to read the hints and
the solutions than to become frustrated.
We hope you have fun!
