Problem of the Week

That which does not kill us, may make us stronger. Or so weak that we'll eventually die, but people don't normally talk about those things...

Problem of the Week Intro and Rules

Dear Reader,

Well well well... you've stumbled upon the problem of the week blog. This blog is a collection of problems that the author has stumbled upon through their days. They just want this blog to be an enjoyable collection of problems that people can come together and work on.

I won't pretend to sugarcoat anything else, I'm a mathematician and the problems I'm interested in are mostly math or logic problems. Other problems will be considered for addition, but please comment responsibly and be nice.

Comment policy:

No spam - anything mentioning poker, online games (unless related to a problem, but I think you know what I mean), anything not PG-13 or deemed unappropriate, will be deleted. It's a necessary evil, yes, but deleting it gets it off the site and brings you, the reader, more quality problems and, hopefully, solutions.

Otherwise than that, almost anything goes. I reserve the right to change the comment policy when I see fit. Yes, that's weird, but I still reserve the right.

So, otherwise than that, I hope you enjoy the blog. Feel free to browse around and leave comments about the kind of problems you'd like to see. I won't pretend to have all the answers, but that's what the internet is for - right?

- Your faithful author.
