My favorite math problem | ByteSauna

There’s one math problem I find surprisingly deep in how it connects simple puzzles to profound ideas in logic, proof, and the rise of AI in mathematics.

🔢🤓 Ah yes, Project Euler: the ultimate playground for those who find their math curriculum too "basic" but still enjoy the thrill of solving problems that bring back the joys of high school algebra. 🎓 Because what's more fun than mixing math with programming to really spice up your free time? 🖥️

I think the "fee/interest" argument made by "Wrath of Math" here is silly because it implies someone so heavily invested in math has apparently never heard of a friction-less plane in a vacuum.

It's a math problem guy we're not actually concerned about paying back the pawn broker's fees.

BusyBeaver(6) is really quite large

For overdetermined reasons, I’ve lately found the world an increasingly terrifying and depressing place. It’s gotten harder and harder to concentrate on research, or even popular scienc…

🤯 Wow, a sentence that counts its own letters! 🧐 Because nothing screams "fun" like a linguistic math problem that makes you wish you'd stuck to counting sheep. 🐑 Let's hope no one's developing a dependency on #autograms for their weekend excitement! 😂

OMG, it took humanity 100 years to solve a math problem that today’s students learn in a week?! 🤯 Must've been a wild ride from "How do we map this circle with straight lines?" to "Oops, we solved it by accident!" 🗺️📜 Guess Mercator should've just waited for the next edition of "Calculus for Dummies!" 📚🤣

100 years to solve an integral - Lior Sinai

The integral of sec(x) is well known to any beginners calculus student. Yet this integral was once a major outstanding maths problem. It was first introduced...

arXiv: Proof or Bluff? Evaluating LLMs on 2025 USA Math Olympiad. “Using expert human annotators, we evaluated several state-of-the-art reasoning models on the six problems from the 2025 USAMO within hours of their release. Our results reveal that all tested models struggled significantly, achieving less than 5% on average. Through detailed analysis of reasoning traces, we identify the most […]
