Nov 18, 2009 at 17:05 comment added Kim Morrison Recreational math is certainly okay. I think David Speyer's answer below indicates this isn't a particularly interesting question. Remember the primary criterion is "of interest to mathematicians", where we're defining "mathematicians" fairly tightly. If it had more upvotes, or some comments complaining about me closing it, I'd reconsider. More generally, we're still exploring the range of questions we're after -- feel free to come over to tea.mathoverflow.net to discuss.

Nov 18, 2009 at 16:55 comment added Elazar Leibovich I'm not sure I get the drift of the FAQ. If it's not either a research question, or related to graduated material - it's not for Mathoverflow? Lightweight material - out? No room for, say, recreational math? Stackoverflow for instance has room for programming riddles which are not of real professional interest. (I'm not criticizing, just want to make sure I got the spirit of the site)
