Problem of the Week

Current Problem (Week of 11/7/24–11/13/24)

Only P.C. students can participate.
A new question is posted each Friday that classes are in session.
A correct answer must be exact. For example, if the correct answer is 2π then 6.28 is not correct. If the correct answer is 1/3 then 0.3333 is not correct.
A participant who gives the first correct answer to a question is the winner for that week.
The winner for each week gets a raffle ticket for a drawing held during the mathematics department end-of-the-year party in May. Several prizes will be raffled off. You do not have to be present to win.
Answers are to be submitted by email to: jhoag@providence.edu. There is no other way to submit an answer.
All decisions of the judges are final.
