🚀 Ritangle 2026 is officially underway! Question 1 is now live and registration is open. Gather your team, tackle today's challenge and begin your journey towards the final stages of the competition. 🔗 Register and access the questions: buff.ly/2Nv1qMl #Ritangle2026

A mathematical puzzle showing a 5×5 square grid with rows labelled by the numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13, and columns labelled 17, 19, 23, 29, 31 and 37. Three red points are plotted at grid intersections: one on row 7 and column 17, one on row 3 and column 23, and one on row 2 and column 31. Accompanying text explains that each point’s value is the product of the primes at the end of its row and column, giving values 62, 69 and 119. The challenge asks participants to add three more points so that the distances between every pair of the six points are all different, creating 15 unique distances, and then find the sum of the values of the three new points.
