The Problem Solving Challenge
Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2017 1:06 pm
Inspired by the recent Short term challenges thread, I decided to create this thread for short term problem solving challenges.
The idea is simple:
1. Decide on a problem that you would like to fix
2. Come up with some ideas on how to fix it
3. Set a date for fixing the problem
4. Report back after this date on how you get on
Any ability or type of problem is welcome, however a few things to consider:
The challenge is supposed to be short term. Exactly how long is up to you, because the nature of the problem and time available to work on it is an individual matter, however as a guideline I would suggest you consider problems that could be solved within 3-4 weeks
For really big problems, consider some of the other challenges on this forum, like the Super Challenge for listening and reading or the Output Challenge for speaking and writing
If you are a complete beginner, it is probably not worth specialising yet. The 6 Week Challenge may be a better option
To join the challenge, post below using the following format - and remember to report back when the challenge is over!
