Although Tex has been used a lot in the problem's fora we refrained from doing so in the problem wordings because some older versions of Internet Explorer had difficulties with it.
However, in the wording of problem 450 Tex has been used because we never got complaints about the use of Tex in the problem's fora.
In case you have difficulties reading the wording of problem 450, here is a screendump of it.
If you don't have a browser that is displaying the wording of this problem properly and have had to resort to this screendump, could you please reply to this topic stating the browsers you have tried (including the version number)?
If no one complains from now on Tex will be used in the problem wordings if necessary.

Re: Problem 450
Maybe there should be a link from Problem 450 (View Problem) to this post. How else is anyone who is having problems to know where to report it?
(It works fine for me in Firefox btw)

Re: Problem 450
In case of technical problems one can:
1) visit this forum which is easy to find on the about page on the main site.
2) use the contact form on the main site. Admins will then point to this post.
Our members that are trying #450 are no complete novices, are they?
They will have faced the issue when viewing the recent problem's fora.
The issue only occurs with IE7 (and probably lower). Those versions can typically be found on old XP computers for which Microsoft stops support April 8th, 2014)
Using a recent version of Firefox cures the problem anyhow.

A great improvement. I'd almost say, overdue.hk wrote:Although Tex has been used a lot in the problem's fora we refrained from doing so in the problem wordings because some older versions of Internet Explorer had difficulties with it.

Re: Problem 450
Just curious:
After solving this problem today, I saw a post (actually the 8th) from one of my 'friends', but that user name is not listed as having actually solved the problem. Is this something that happens often?
