**__Challenge Problems__**
==== One of the individual projects I chose to do in this course was to re-work 2 challenge problems from MA 205 & MA 206 using Microsoft Excel. This allowed me to visually represent the logic I used to solve the problems, as well as easily create tables of the formulas and equations involved in the problems. The problems are as follows, ﻿﻿ ====

==== __﻿The Checkerboard Problem__ A standard 8x8 checkerboard is composed of squares. How many different squares can be located on the checkerboard? (Note that the answer is larger than 64.) How many different squares would you expect to find on an nxn checkerboard? Explain. To view my complete solution to this problem, follow the link to the right.

Note that 41 is common to both sequences. Find the next ten numbers which are **common to both sequences.** Look for and explain at least four patterns in your new set and the two original sets.
