Abstract:
This paper provides a complete solution set to 25 " killer problems" given to Jewish
candidates to the Mekh-Mat at Moscow State University during the
1970's and 1980's. Typically, the problems are at the mathematical olympiad level and
some feature interesting theorems. However, a number of the problems are flawed, or
even completely wrong. The paper therefore includes an evaluation of the problems in the style
of a referee report.
