Welcome !

This blog is primarily about interesting problems in math and logic. We will discuss problems that are easy to state, require simple ideas, but are not always easy to solve. I will avoid posting problems that involve calculus or differential equations. Probability might find its way here, but again, only the basics will be needed to think about the problems here. Ocaasionally I might put up questions that involve lateral thinking. If my flights of fancy lead me to do so, I might, at times, post something whimsical :-) Since its hard to draw and put up images here, I will unfortunately have to leave out many interesting problems that involve figures.


After giving it some thought, I have decided I will not post the solutions here. There are two reasons for this- One, it will save me the effort of typing out the solution. Second, and more importantly, others too can participate by putting up their solutions, perhaps in the comments section, or as a separate post if they would like to offer a detailed solution. So kindly post the solutions to the problems if you've solved them. If any question remains unsolved, and someone is really curious about the solution, I will post it. If you would like to contribute to the blog, you are most welcome :-) If you would like to turn into a contributor sometime later, that's fine too! Don't worry about posing problems that you think are too simple. What is simple to some of us may not be as simple to others...

Before I close this post, I would urge you to spare a thought for the ones who have originally posed these problems( I haven't come up with these questions) . It takes skill to solve problems, but I think its takes just as much, if not more ingenuity, to create them! So, with that, let's move ahead and revel in the joy of solving problems !!
