Problem 10
Speaking of really nice problems, this problem from the 2019 AMC 10a gave my younger son a bit of trouble yesterday, but talking through it made me realize what a great problem it is for a kid to think about.
What other mathematical aspects of this caught your attention? What do you wonder about the situation?
