New! Problems of the Month (POTM)
Once a month, three new problems will be released at once. You have until Saturday at 11:59 pm four weeks later to submit a solution to daniel.riley@tufts.edu. You do not need to solve all three questions. Solutions should be detailed, self-contained proofs, generally less than a page in length. Please include your name in the submission. Three points are given for each valid proof, and one point is given for partially correct proofs. Whoever has the most points at the end of the year will receive a special prize!
