QUICKIES
Murray Klamkin was famous for his Quickies, problems that had
quick and neat solutions. We present all the Quickies published in CRUX
MATHEMATICORUM, with some slight editing by Bruce Shawyer.

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

The problems have been selected by Andy Liu and arranged into sets
according to topic.
The solutions are as published in CRUX MATHEMATICORUM, with some
slight editing by Bruce Shawyer. Solutions from pre-LATEX editions were coded
by students at Memorial University of Newfoundland, funded by the Canadian
Mathematical Society. Special thanks are due to Karelyn Davis, Alyson Ford,
Don Hender, Shawna Gammon, Paul Marshall, Shannon Sullivan and Rebecca
White.
These problems exhibit the special talents of Murray Klamkin. They cover
a very wide range of topics, and show a great deal of insight into what is possible
in there areas. They demonstrate that Murray Klamin was a problem setter par
excellence. We are very greatful to have known him and to have been inspired by
him.
Problem numbers and references are to [year : page number] are as in CRUX
MATHEMATICORUM. When a problem number is followed by a star ⋆, this
means that the problem was proposed without a solution.
