The first response videos have arrived! Check them out, and explore some follow-up challenges, by visiting the Challenge 05 page in the archive!

None of the videos (so far) have taken up the challenge of describing a new piece of paper for us to explore, so I'd like to encourage you to put on your problem-posing shoes!
  • What if the paper had been a square? A golden rectangle?
  • Describe a piece of paper such that exactly one-third of the paper is inside the largest circle that can be drawn. Can you find a real piece of paper that fits your description?
  • What other questions could we pose?
