I hope that I will never ever again get any private message requesting help in obtaining this book :P (which I got tons of). Inb4 I have nothing in common with this book, I am just passing info.

EDIT: Look below for monsoon's comment for stores with much better price.

What's the relation between this book and the booklet of the same name that was distributed at the 2012 World Finals? Was the 2012 version a sample? I don't have it near me right now, but the booklet didn't have anywhere near 100 pages if I remember correctly, let alone 450.

    I have the book from the WF 2012 from Warsaw and it has 425 pages + some empty ones at the back. The cover looks the same to me.

    The booklet distributed at the World Finals in 2012 was only a 48-pages-long preview of the "Looking for a Challenge?" book which was printed slightly after the finals.

    The book from the link is the second edition of the full "Looking for a Challenge?". The set of problems is the same as in the first edition, but we have revised the whole text and done some minor corrections where needed.

It seems that the second bookstore will get a nice profit:

First bookstore (shipment only to Poland) 92,82 zł ~ 22 EUR

Second bookstore (international shipment) $61.94 ~ 53 EUR

Aah... Atleast finally Swistakk posted something relevant.

I was not happy by the way this guy used to get contribution points. He is so cheap that he used to bang in between the conversations and used to comment, just to get upvotes. He is the only guy in the Top Contributors list who shouldn't be, because shit commenting doesn't make you a contributor. Dear Swistakk, If you want to be in some list then I suggest you go hard on yourself and make yourself come in the Top Rated list.

Have a great day! Bye!
