Ponder This!
Welcome to our Monthly Puzzles
Website link: researchweb.watson.ibm.com
You are cordially invited to match wits with some of the best minds in IBM Research.
Seems some of us can't see a problem without wanting to take a crack at solving it. Does that sound like you? Good.
Forge ahead and ponder this month's problem. We'll post a new one every month, and allow two to three weeks for you to submit solutions (we may even publish submitted answers, especially if they're correct). Towards the end of the month, we'll post the answer.
* Here is the solution: domino.research.ibm.com
for our December 2005 problem.
* And now... here's our January challenge: domino.research.ibm.com
So give your mind a break from its routine---you never know what other problems you may solve in the process!
Puzzlemaster: James Shearer
Don Coppersmith has moved on from IBM to pursue other interests. He has enjoyed the interaction with the readers over the years.
The new puzzlemaster will be James Shearer.
If you have any problems you think we might enjoy, please send them in. All replies should be sent to: [email protected]
