AI Thread Summary
The book utilizes a color-coded system for problem numbers to indicate difficulty levels: black for straightforward problems, blue for intermediate, and pink for challenging. This legend is explained on the first page of each chapter containing problems. The use of different colors and boxes helps readers quickly identify the complexity of the problems they will encounter.
