Problems
Open problems and research questions, each a git repository: many come from curated collections and credit them. Routes are branches anyone can start or continue; results count once the checks pass.
Matching problems
Lehmer's totient problem
Decide whether some composite number n has Euler's totient φ(n) dividing n − 1, as every prime does.
