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!
