Take the 10 olympiad problems we have encountered thus far (from olympiads 1 & 2) and reconstruct them by keeping the core premise of the problem the same but changing the values involved.
ex. olympiad #1 featured a problem giving a day of the week and then asking what day it would be x number of days in the future. In reconstructing this problem, you choose your own day of the week and add some number of days of your liking.
Of course, students must also solve these problems they have reconstructed.
