    What is Deep Problem Marathon?

    Deep Problem Marathon is an endurance training game for your problem-solving mind. While most brain games focus on quick challenges, this game specifically builds the capacity for extended, deep thinking that real-world success requires.

    The game presents progressively difficult problems designed to be worked through in extended sessions. You develop not just problem-solving skills, but the mental stamina and frustration tolerance that distinguish top performers in competitive exams and professional challenges.

    How It Works

    The game provides structured endurance challenges:

    Marathon Formats: • Sprint (30 min): Entry-level extended focus training • Half Marathon (1 hr): Building toward exam-length endurance • Full Marathon (2 hr): Matching demanding exam conditions • Ultra Marathon (3+ hr): For GATE, UPSC, and research preparation

    Problem Progression: Difficulty increases as the session continues, testing both skill and stamina.

    1

    Accept the Challenge

    Choose a marathon length (30 min, 1 hr, or 2 hr sessions).

    2

    Engage Deeply

    Work through increasingly difficult problems without breaks.

    3

    Push Through Difficulty

    When stuck, persist rather than skipping - this builds mental strength.

    4

    Complete the Marathon

    Finish the full session to build problem-solving endurance.

    JEE Advanced (6 hours): Mental fatigue is a major score limiter for prepared students.

    UPSC (Multiple long papers): Each day requires sustained high-quality thinking.

    Olympiads: Multi-hour problem sessions require marathon-level mental endurance.
