I will add to this, as should you in the comments page. Please only add sites/links that you have some experience with and really know are great and high quality.
MoMath is pleased to announce a new program to keep your minds fresh! Sign up now for Mind-Benders for the Quarantined! at mindbenders.momath.org and each Sunday, MoMath will send you a challenging mathematical puzzle from the collection of our own puzzle master, Dr. Peter Winkler. On Tuesday, you’ll receive a subtle hint; on Thursday, a serious push; on Saturday, the solution. And the next day, of course, a new puzzle.
These puzzles are for your edification, enjoyment, and personal satisfaction. If you wish, however, you may send your answers and/or complaints to mindbenders@momath.org at any time. Dr. Winkler won’t be able to reply, but he will be happy to benefit from your comments, and will announce a winner (for the most right answers with the least help) when the epidemic is over.Regards,
National Museum of Mathematics
