My favorite* online math puzzle contest — Monday Math Madness — has decided to use a problem that I submitted for a previous contest.
CHECK IT OUT HERE!

Congrats on getting picked. :-)
There is also Math Minute which is sometimes fun but sometimes too easy.
Thank you for a fun puzzle!
@Kate: I’ll check it out!
@Denise: Thanks your your thanks! [Takes a bow.] I wish I could take credit, but it goes to Mathcamp!
Thanks! Depending on the point of view, you gave me two wonderful hours – or stole me two hours;). Maybe I’ll even post my solution…
