Hey guys,

I'd like to know if there is a way in latex to show the following:

Example 1: problem statement here
Solution: solution here

and wrap that in a box so that it will be noticeable.

Seems like a common enough problem that there should be ready made solutions

If there are any suggestions it would be much appreciated!
