Yesterday I posted on
The Jewish Coffin Problems of Moscow State University. Part of that post included
links to two
sets of simple to describe but extremely difficult to solve math problems -- so called "coffin problems" -- that were given to Jewish applicants and students and other "undesirables" to try to keep them out of the prestigious program. There were hints and solutions included in the problem sets, but, you know, those only go so far and don't provide a general methodology. So, today here's an open source book that was originally written for Mathematics Olympiad students:
Geometry Unbound. This version, by the way, has no diagrams (you get what you pay for), but it's still very accessible.
