Most SSM talks are accompanied by a "Mathematics Problem of the Week" to test the mathematical mettle of the attendees. The problems are typically solvable using college and high school mathematics, but devious enough to be challenging. Answers are distributed at the subsequent SSM talk. We've listed the problems in order below and previous problems have answers available. Problems will not have their answers included until at least a week has passed.
The problems and answers are in pdf format,and so you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view them.
The Reader is free to download and available by clicking on the Adobe Acrobat Reader link.
