Five characteristics necessary for a computer puzzle to be considered ideal are listed along with an example of such a puzzle. Several other puzzles lacking some of these characteristics are also listed and discussed. (MN)

Five problems on the generation and study of prime and related numbers are discussed. Solutions to the problems posed will be in next month's presentation. (MP)

This reprint of one of the original Project Solo curriculum modules contains five problems and a computer program. (MK)

A problem is detailed which has a solution that embodies geometry, trigonometry, ballistics, projectile mechanics, vector analysis, and elementary computer graphics. It is felt that the information and sample computer programs can be a useful starting point for a user written code that involves missiles and other projectiles. (MP)

A hungry worm is looking for something to eat according to very specific rules, and the path he takes is a graph. The problem is detailed in Applesoft BASIC using low resolution graphics for worms that turn 90 degrees and high resolution for worms that can turn 45 degrees. (MP)

Some uses of a computer in a high school statistics class are presented. The increased student involvement in the lesson is seen as a result of the line demonstration of the mathematical concepts involved. A special application program written in BASIC is included. (MP)

Problems are presented that can be solved with a microcomputer which explore the binary, decimal, and hexadecimal number systems and related problems. (Author/TG)

The design of a computer program to efficiently generate prime numbers is discussed. Programs for many different brands of home computers are listed, with suggestions of ways the programs can be speeded up. It is noted everyone seems to have a favorite program, but that every program can be improved. (MP)
