2021 MIT Mystery Hunt
Each year I look at the MIT Mystery hunt puzzles and pick ones related to mathematics, logic, and computer science. I usually give additional comments about the puzzles, but this year’s titles are quite descriptive. Let’s start with mathematics.
- Yes or No?
- Exactly.
- Numbers.
- Triangles.
- The Greatest Jigsaw.
- Clueless.
- Ignorance.
- The IMO Shortlist.
Now Nikoli-type logic puzzles. I really enjoyed “Fun with Sudoku” during the hunt.
And computer science.
- Illiterate Programming.
- A Bit of Light.
- Complexity Evaluation.
- Analog Circuitry.
- Escape From Life.
- Extensive.
- In C.
- Befuddled.
