Intermediate competition-style problems (ages 13 to 16)
173 problems in the age band of the UKMT Intermediate Mathematical Challenge and the MAA AMC 10. GCSE / IGCSE / Class 9–10 content used in unfamiliar ways: modular arithmetic, clever counting, circle and area geometry, conditional probability. Every problem is original — written by us, not taken from a real paper — with two hints, a full solution, a note on why the method works and where the idea leads.
All 173 are free, with full solutions.
