The second POTW has now been posted, along with one possible set of solutions for the first problem. This week's problem has a similar flavor to last week's, so if you liked that one you'll like this one.

I have now posted the final POTW for the semester. That's right! After this, there will no more POTWs until September. So go have a look, and tell me what you think.
The fifth Problem of the Week has now been posted. This one is probably my favorite of the term. I think it's fairly challenging. It will have to hold you for a while, though, since POTW will be taking next week off.
My trip to New York was a lot of fun. Some friends from Kentucky were visiting me this weekend, and that was fun too. But in all the chaos Sunday Chess Problem ended up taking the week off. Sorry about that! It will return next week.
Spring break has ended. It is a great sadness. But that means that POTW can now return! Life is full of tradeoffs.
The one with the dogs can seem tricky, but is actually so simple that merely saying it's simple is practically a giveaway. (Oops!)
This POTW is much easier than the four 4s one applied to larger numbers. Though I guess its about as difficult as the first POTW 'official' version (which was only to figure it out for numbers 2-10).
Got an answer for all five in the bag, ready for next Monday's posting.
