This section features a collection of logical and entertaining problems. These puzzles are engaging because solving them strengthens logical thinking, creativity, and perseverance. They also help learners identify the "weak spot" in a task — the key insight that leads to the solution. Adults may find these challenges just as enjoyable.
A new problem is posted each Monday morning. Check back weekly for the latest challenge.
Take your time. Try different approaches. Write your solution clearly and show all your working.
Email your solution to info@lioncubscontest.com before the weekly deadline.
Official solutions are published the following week on the Solutions to POW page. Correct respondents are listed on the Hall of Fame.

Stay tuned — our first problem will be posted here once the contest season begins.
Past weekly problems will appear here as they are published. Check back each week for a growing archive of challenges and solutions.
Teachers: The POW is a great classroom warm-up activity! Encourage students to discuss their approaches and share different methods of solving each problem.
