Every week, you’ll find a brain-teasing challenge waiting for you! The Problem of the Week (P.O.W.) is all about stretching your thinking, sharpening your problem-solving skills, and learning how to look at things from a brand-new angle. It’s like a workout for your brain—minus the sweat (unless the problem is really tricky 😉).
This is completely optional, but if you choose to take it on, be sure to record your work in your agenda so we can see all the creative ways you approached the challenge. Remember: it’s not about being the fastest or even getting the “right” answer—it’s about practicing how to think outside the box and having some fun while you’re at it!
