This book presents a carefully curated selection of mathematical problems suitable for young minds aged 12 and beyond. Most of these problems have been adapted from the Dürer Competition, a venerable mathematics competition in Hungary renowned for fostering teamwork and encouraging creative thinking in the realm of mathematical problem-solving.Within the pages of this book, readers are invited to accompany Albrecht, Tarkal, and Zsordi on 14 captivating journeys to the enigmatic Island of Oxisz, where they will encounter a total of 84 thought-provoking problems. Some of these challenges are intricately interconnected, elevating the level of difficulty. The concluding section provides comprehensive solutions and helpful hints, illuminating the paths taken by the three friends to tackle the problems.No specialized prior knowledge is required beyond a solid foundation in mathematics from the first seven years of school. Nevertheless, many problems in the book demand original ideas or clever combinations of elementary principles. This book offers students, mathematics educators, and trainers alike a captivating glimpse into a distinctive competition, making it a valuable resource for cultivating problem-solving skills at an early age.
