Challenge packs
5 puzzles each, built around one geometry, and between them they cover every family below. Progress is stored locally; a pack keeps your best score per puzzle.
Straight talk
Linear separations, from a wide clean gap to a nearly touching pair. Learn what margin buys you.
Round numbers
Rings, tilted ellipses and a squircle. No line will do it — reach for x² + y², then rotate the frame with θ.
Bends
Parabolas, vees and the polynomials above them. One coefficient at a time; the curve tells you which way to push.
Soft steps
Logistic, tanh, arctangent, softplus. Four ways to draw the same S — the shoulders are what separate them.
Bumps & valleys
A Gaussian, a soliton, a rational spike and a hanging chain. Single-peaked and deceptively alike until you fit one.
Waves
Sines, a two-term harmonic and a damped ring-down. Amplitude, frequency and phase, all at once.
Overfit traps
Interlocking moons, disconnected islands and a Cassini oval that may or may not have split in two. Flexible functions are allowed, but wiggle is scored.
