This website is what it says on the tin - a compilation of maths challenges curated by students.

Challenges Are Castles

Taking down a castle is incredibly difficult, and takes a lot of concerted effort. Planning your attack on each castle requires a unique, customised strategy which takes advantage of the castle's weak points.

Challenges are exactly this! This website is a castle of castles - each challenge presents a unique situation of some really interesting mathematical ideas.

Challenges are rated on a scale from α to ζ. The further along the Greek Alphabet you go, the harder the challenges get!
