Abstract

In this chapter we consider a variety of solutions to Ankur’s Challenge from students ranging from high school to graduate level study of mathematics. The problem was created by Ankur and first posed to tenth-grade classmates in an after-school session of the Rutgers longitudinal study (see Chapter 8).
