This sounds like a great idea but there's a potential drawback: It would be shame if a lot of old chestnut problems that are great the first time you encounter them were listed with their answers easy to find, so that newcomers to these problems might be too tempted to just look up the answer instead of working on them.
I thought we might make it easy to sign up for a student account at mathcircles.org and get access to the problems but a bit more difficult to get a teacher account that lets you see the solutions. Also I'm sure in many cases people will have the energy to submit the problem to the database but nobody will put out the effort to write up and submit the solution. --Joshua
