Puzzle and Proof: A Decade of Problems from the Utah Math OlympiadPuzzle and Proof: A Decade of Problems from the Utah Math Olympiad is a compilation of the problems and solutions for the first 10 years of the Utah Math Olympiad. The problems are challenging but should be understandable at a high school level. Besides putting all problems in one place (70 in total), which have not previously appeared in print, the book provides additional inspiration for many of the problems and will contain the first published solutions for 10 problems that were originally published on the contest flyer. The book will be a fantastic resource for anyone who enjoys mathematical and/or logic puzzles or is interested in studying for mathematics competitions.
