Content Summary

Almost certainly Euler's shortest publication, this paper consists of 8 lines in the Nova Acta Eruditorum. As the title suggests, the entire work is the proposal of a geometry problem. Specifically, the problem involves finding all curves that have a certain reflection property that Euler describes. Euler himself solved this problem two years later, in E106.
