> http://www.siam.org/siamnews/01-02/challenge.pdf. The
> challenge consists of ten computational problems, each of
> whose answers is a single real number. The person or
> group who manages to calculate the greatest number of correct
> digits by May 20, 2002, up to ten digits for each of the ten
> problems, will win $100 and be mentioned in SIAM News.

> The challenge can serve nicely as the focus of a student
> problem-solving club. I am curious to see how many digits we get!
