As a owner of The Princeton companion to mathematics, I have found a great deal of things to learn from it. This book covers math in almost every single field and easy to understand(after fully understand the introduction chapter and remember all those definitions.) There are history of each field, list of mathematicians and their biography, introduction to each field, what each field is concerned with. it can go deep into some topic, like what is on in the current research. but a high school student with enough mathematical skills have no problem reading it.
I suggest this book if you have math students who are really interest to mathematics and does not fear lots of definition to remember.
Right. I can do it in less than 20 seconds in the hardest setting.
Need something even harder, but not too hard.
I would like it to ask me 5 AMC level questions. The questions getting harder to AIME level if I got the easy question wrong.

So Abit going to compete with TWOBITS?
confusion caused by Confucius?
I volunteer as human pilot. can't trust computer these days.
I don't want to advertise my site but I think this is the most fuckable math article out there. Unless you also love some Polly Nomial fun...
It's like racism. Instead of race, it's college names.
It's like Wikipedia for people have no lives.
I thought of Japan.
Nice thank-you-letter... How about get the capitalization right first? arXiv.
