Some of these are poorly worded:
* Kleptopia is ambiguous about what gets stolen, and what toplogy the boxes/padlocks must have for the solution.
* The "clever" solution to Unwanted Expansion isn't a complete proof, unless you add some complicated reasoning or use the non-clever proof, but if you do that, you don't need the "clever" proof at all.
* The Wimbledon puzzle doesn't explain the scoring rules of tennis :(
- zem 10y agothe clever solution to "unwanted expansion" only uses the fact that addition and multiplication of two positive integers a, b > 1 always gives an answer that is greater than both a and b, therefore if the expansion never terminates and all your variables are 2, the overall result will be infinite. since expansion doesn't change a result, the pre-expansion evaluation should also be infinite; since it is not, the expansion terminates.
