COMMUNICATION

There have been 157 entries for this challenge, which were available to all participants at the Mat Plus site. Milan’s intention was to publish an article including all the correct entries in Mat Plus. We have decided that it would be appropriate to eventually publish this article dedicated to the memory of Milan. Owing to the impossibility to associate each diagram to its composer, we have decided to proceed as follows:

(1) All participants are asked to kindly send again the same original problems to me, preferably in PDF format, before November 3, 2013.
(2) I will organize all the problems classified by loci, including the solutions of the problems and the name of the authors, in article format in a preliminary document.
(3) The current status of the problems is that of “unpublished”, as they are not available to an unrestricted number of people. However, we believe that the entries somehow belong to Milan, and we have thus decided to include them all in the final article. Any unmatched entry will thus be published as “anonymous.”
(4) A preliminary version of the article will be circulated in December 2013 to any person who has contacted me stating his will to add some comments to the article.
(5) The final version of the article will be published in 2014.

Please circulate this communication to anyone who may have participated in the challenge.

Joaquim Crusats,
