Great link. :smile:

Here's another maths puzzles link to add (can't remember where I came across this but it was a few years ago). Includes puzzles of varying degrees of difficulty depending on the level of your mathematical knowledge:

Wow, I never knew the Princeton one existed. That's one of the best I've come across.

There are quite a few links at http://math.smsu.edu/~les , while we're sharing. The one at Ole Miss gives out TI-89s, if you're interested.
