Thread: Please read this before posting in this subforum.

This is a subforum for posting questions as a challenge to other members. If you post a question in this subforum it is because it is an interesting question that you want to share with other members. You should be able to post the solution upon request.

Please do not post a question in this subforum because you need help with it. That's what the other subforums are for.

The Moderators will move or delete questions posted in this subforum that they consider are inappropriate. Moderators may also issue an Infraction or Warning in such instances.

Also, just as a courtesy to those who still want to attempt the problems, please use the spoiler tags when posting a solution.

Can you suggest a deadline for someone to post a solution to a challenge in this section?

How about a nominal 72 hours.

I was considering a week. Three days are fine with me.

A further requirement for members who post questions in this subforum:

You must specifically say at the start of your question that it is a challenge question. Furthermore, unless you are an Expert, Helper or Moderator, you must pm the solution to all Global Moderators (we are the ones whose name is green). A list of Forum Leaders can be found here: http://www.mathhelpforum.com/math-help/showgroups.php.

If you do not do these two things your question will be deleted and you will receive an Infraction.

I'm sorry for this harsh criteria. Members have been abusing this subforum by posting questions they cannot do. This is unacceptable.

Does pm mean email?

How do you email all the moderators with the solution?

pm means personal message. Click on the members name, then click on Contact Info and then do the obvious things.
