All the challenges are still eligible to be solved with an alternate proof for one point; the ones marked solved are simply done to make it easier for people to tell which ones are completely open still.

If anyone is mathematically inclined and wants to get a gold membership those top 3 spots are definitely open for the taking!
 
Congrats to these members for winning a 6 month Gold membership! Keep up the great work!
