A Collection of Imitator Problems

by Philippe Schnoebelen

This collection of problems lists all (that is, 3 as of today) retros using an Imitator scattered here and then in the many pages of the WWW Retro Corner. Thanks to Juraj Lörinc for suggesting such a page.

I used approximate chronological order.
