Original Problems @ Julia’sFairies

  • Dear friends, let me present to you a new form of the main page of Original Problems section. If you click on the [Original Problems] tab on the upper menu – you will get a list of all problems published at Julia’sFairies site. The numbers of the problems work as links to them. Click on the number to see the problem on the page where it is published.
  • I’d like to tell a special THANKS! to PETER HARRIS – who has given me an idea of creating this table, suggested the structure of it and helped me with filling in the whole content.
  • I’ve added to the list of the original problems also the originals from the articles written for Julia’sFairies. Like, you will see now the numbers starting from letters “NB” for the problems inside the articles Block of Neutral Battery Piece I,II.
  • I’m sorry if I have made any mistakes in the table or links! I have mistakes from time to time, as I want to do everything as fast as possible. Also, this is my first experience in running the web-site. So, please let me know if you see anything working wrong, or if you have any other suggestions regarding the structure of the site or about the realization! 

Thank you for coming!

Sincerely, Julia

  • (22.07) My own new problem is added to PAGE-19 – No.49, Anti-Andernach this time. 
  • (20.07) For SOLVERS!  Two new problems by Peter Harris are added to PAGE-19. Author believes that the problems should be SOLVED first, and then analyzed. See No.47 and No.48. After conversations with Mr.Harris I’ve tried to add a possibility to show or hide the solution. It is added to PAGE-19 and PAGE-15 for now for testing. 
  • (20-21.07) I’m trying to add a possibility for visitors to edit comments. Also, have changed a list of Recent comments. Have some problems with avatars there – visitors’  photos sometimes are visible and sometimes not. Will test all comments-related things.. Please let me know if something goes wrong! Sorry for inconvenience!
