Thinking about the module task - which 'problem' to choose?

Before the next MA session, I need to have thought about which mathematical problem I am going to explore.

There are so many, big and small, I have no idea where to begin!

Initial thoughts are:

The Chessboard Problem

Hmmmmmmm. That's all I can think of. I much prefer the type of problem that leads to an algebraic solution rather than a geometry based problem, but WHICH ONE?



And while we're on the subject of the module assignment, I'm still not entirely sure of the actual title/nature of the assignment. What if I have it completely wrong? What if I end up doing something that will get me a fail?

Oh, help!
