"A couple of queries"
 
   I have been browsing through the pages of Cut the Knot for a few months now, and it's been a primary resource of fun and inspiration. Now that I am constructing my own website, I have a couple of queries (independent of each other) with regard to CTK, which are as follows:

A part of my site is a small study group, where I hope to make things exciting by posting challenge problems. In due course, if required, may I borrow some puzzle-like material from this website for a month-long contest? This is strictly non-commercial, and I will obviously include full credit with a link back to this site. However, if, for some reason - legal or otherwise - this cannot be done; I understand, I will try and look for other resources.

Secondly, I am building a link database, and it would be very nice if I could use a text link or a 88x31 button graphic that represented CTK. I will await your permission for this. If you would like to review my site, please feel free to look at https://ideazunlimited.trap17.com.

With warm regards,
Neeldhara Misra
My other signature is very clever.

The word "borrow" frightens me. There is no copyright on problems. You can put into your own words whatever material you came across wherever this happened. It would be nice and quite common to acknowledge the source.

Other than the above, the site may be used for browsing, and that's it.

>I will try and look for other resources.

Please do, by all means. There's a plenty.

You do not need a permission to place a link. It's like writing down somebody's phone number you found in the yellow pages. Any one can do that.

Looks very nice. I did not like the font in the left side of the front page you use to describe the menu items on the right.

   Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I am glad to hear that I can use the problems discussed in this site. All I want to do is describe a problem and leave it open for analysis and discussion. In particular, I found the "Hanoing" puzzle fascinating. If I understand right, I am allowed to rephrase the problem and cite the source (the relevant page on your site) - please correct me if this is not okay.

It is also good to know I can place a link. Thank you for taking the time to look at my website. I am little uneasy about the font in the graphics, mainly because of low readability. I will try and improve it in the next non-trivial update.

Thank you again for your responses.

This is OK.

You may be curious to have a look at the old CTK Exchange archive.
Please do not post there.
