Today’s puzzles have been put before We solve problemsA wonderful charity describing itself as a “social club for mathematics -loving children”. WSP runs free mathematics departments for high school students (in the United Kingdom from 7 to 11) in nine cities in the United Kingdom. If you want to subscribe to the next academic year You can advance here.
Problems also organize “mathematics battles”, which I wrote in 2022
I have prepared a mystery here on Mondays since 2015. I have always been aware of the wonderful puzzles. If you want one suggestion, Send me.
