Sphinx Album

Task 166, Sphinx, represents every aspect of the richness of process and content that is within every task. It is amazing how such an easy to state, easy to start problem has produced so much mathematics. Considerable information about the iceberg of Sphinx is available.

This link also contains the work of students and teachers from the middle 90s who started the Sphinx adventure. The revelations below would not have happened without the input of these earlier mathematicians.
