This is our second collection of stage 5 epsilons. An epsilon problem is quick to read and understand. They might not be so easy to solve!
Epsilons will be good for filling spare mathematical moments. Why not carry a few around with you? (Our first collection of epsilons are here).
A small circle fits between two touching circles so that all three circles touch each other and have a common tangent? What is the exact radius of the smallest circle?
Find the smallest integer solution to the equation 1/x^2 + 1/y^2 = 1/z^2
Find the value of sqrt(2+sqrt3)-sqrt(2-sqrt3)and then of cuberoot(2+sqrt5)+cuberoot(2-sqrt5).
If the last four digits of my phone number are placed in front of the remaining three you get one more than twice my number! What is it?
Four rods are hinged at their ends to form a quadrilateral. How can you maximise its area?
If x + y = -1 find the largest value of xy by coordinate geometry, by calculus and by algebra.
Can you set the logic gates so that this machine can decide how many bulbs have been switched on?
