To ensure that the Garden is a high quality resource, we reserve the right to move submitted open problems to an alternate location on our site. These Second tier problems can be found by clicking the More link in the Navigate menu. When considering submissions, we take into account the value of the question, its relevance, and clarity of the exposition. Still, some of these Second tier problems can be an interesting exercise, or a worthy (but inadequately presented) question. Our editors (called greenthumbs) are listed below.
