As is tradition, the prize pool has increased (to $300 this year).
I have collapsed first and second place into a winner-takes-all arrangement (c’est la vie).
Furthermore, there are additional changes to the structure of this Game:
- you must now pass the problem set to be awarded the prize money;
- you may submit your solutions to the problem set at any point in the future;
- if you plagiarise work, I reserve the right to ban you from all subsequent competitions — grim trigger
- the problem and solution set will now be courteously supported by MathJaX, TikZ, and my own JavaScript
- Good luck!
Most notably, the structure from this year has changed. Instead of just offering a single PDF and then writing up solutions on this site, the problems themselves are accessible from below and once 2025 transpires, my solutions will be available as toggled nested environments.
Given that \(A\) and \(B\) are sets like so:
/wiki/Knowledge is a paradox. The more one understand, the more one realises the vastness of his ignorance.
