The problems we present on this blog came from a Brazilian Mathematician called Malba Tahan. Malba Tahan is actually a pseudonym. According to the source we here mention, his original name was Julio Cesar de Mello e Souza.
These problems were presented at the Science Fair that happened in Melbourne in 2001. They were part of a piece of software built by Marcia R. Pinheiro. This piece of software was displayed at a kiosk where everyone representing VUT was supposed to be.
Coordinating the kiosk was Prof. Neil Diamond, who worked in the same department as Marcia R. Pinheiro back then.
The problems are based on the book As Maravilhas da Matemática (The Wonders of Mathematics) by Malba Tahan (6th edition, Bloch, 1987, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).
Marcia R. Pinheiro has translated and adapted them.
