Weekly Challenge

The Weekly Challenge is a set of 3 problems given each week that challenges the mind to think creatively and logically.

Rules and Problems
Problem sets are distributed every weekly meeting. There are three problems in each set, and every one is worth a different amount of points. Answer only one of the three questions per week, along with sufficient justification or work used to arrive at the solutions. Choose wisely the problem you are most comfortable with to submit. Points are given based on the validity of the justification as well as the correct answer.

Problems 1 and 2 from each set are usually easy to medium AMC level, while Problem 3 is harder AIME level. Members are encouraged to try all problems but it is emphasized that answering all three is not expected. View the Competitions page for more information on the AMC and AIME contests.

Completed problems are due on the day of the next meeting, and we will have a discussion about the problems for the prior week. Feel free to Contact the Executive Officers if any questions arise about meeting deadlines or about the questions themselves.

Feature a Problem
Members who wish to contribute or discuss an interesting math problem of their own may post it on the Featured Problem page. We may even choose to include it on a future Weekly Challenge!
