Puzzles of the Week Contest

Welcome to the Math Puzzles of the Week Contest! Everyone is encouraged to have fun and try each problem.

Each week, a new puzzle will be emailed to all math and CS students, plus posted in the department hallway and Math classrooms. Solutions are due on Mondays at 5pm. The Honor Roll list of successful students will be posted in the Math Dept every Tuesday morning. At the end of the term, the students who solve the most puzzles will win prizes!

Math Solutions should be placed in Yung-Pin Chen’s mailbox in the Math Department on the 3rd floor of BoDine Bldg (or mailed via campus mail to MSC 110), by 5pm on Mondays.
