The Alcumus is the same. But the class assigns the focus topics with due date each week (nothing happens if you did not complete by the due date, so it is just an extra kick).

Alcumus problems come at a random draw(from level 1 to level 25, with level 25 roughly at national mathCount).

Challenge sets are a different animal. They are in general more complicated problems that require multiple steps. Students are asked to submit their writings, and the instructors will read them individually and send back their comments.
