#SummerMathsPuzzles
Each weekday throughout August we will be publishing a new maths-based puzzle. They won't require sophisticated maths to solve, but equally they won't be easy. Discussing your ideas might help.
We hope that you'll enjoy solving them with family, friends and colleagues and we ask that you share them either by forwarding this link: bit.ly/summermathspuzzles, or via our social media (see below).

The answers for each puzzle will be given at the end of the month and, unless requested otherwise, for each puzzle we will publish the winners, the names of the individuals or groups who submit the first few correct answers.
