Challenge Problem 5210 (page 1 of 1): This challenge problem is again babby-tier algebra. K posits a structure which is very similar to, but distinct from, a field and challenges the audience to prove such-and-such for its elements. It's a fairly easy problem, as many solvers are credited later, but still.

This challenge problem appeared in the very same issue that Wedderburn was first published in: AMM, June-Jul '64. A published article and a published problem, K is starting strong and cutting his teeth with the publishing process. He would have been 22 years old when these first appeared.
