Dictator Problems
Welcome to my first blog post! As your Resident Assistant and a fellow math enthusiast, I’m excited to kick off with some classics and variations of what I call “Dictator Problems” - problems where a group of mathematicians must devise strategies to outsmart a dictator’s twisted challenges.
These problems are not just fun brain teasers—they also delve into fascinating concepts in combinatorics, probability, and infinite sets. Each problem is an opportunity to explore deep mathematical ideas in a playful and engaging way. So dive in, give them a try, and see how many of these mathematicians you can help escape!
Without further ado, here are the Dictator Problems:
Remember, every attempt at solving these problems could earn you a cool prize—so give it your best shot!
Hints
Below are the hints. Use them to guide you through the problems, but remember to challenge yourself before peeking!
