I have written up some solutions to problems from this past weekend's Texas A&M Math Contest, and attached it here as a pdf file readable and printable by Adobe's Acrobat Reader (available freely at www.adobe.com. Please feel free to copy and use the attached file as you see fit with your students. I would also like to hear from you about your favorite problems and the methods you would apply.

In general I would like to see stronger communication among all of us. That would improve the overall level of problem solving of our students as we learn from one another. I would like to hear your ideas on how we might accomplish this!

Happy Thanksgiving,
