Re: THE project euler thread
 

For the sake of adding to the Project Euler thread, finished 1-10 so far.

Re: THE project euler thread
 

Made it from level 10 to level 12 (50 more problems, or 300 total solved) -- and that's at a nonstop rate. I got a LOT of easy problems knocked out today (including a few brute-forcers that I've been letting run on my desktop while I work on the laptop).

What a rush ;-; Taking a break for now. My brain's frazzled and I feel like I've been a slave to this site for eons now.

Re: THE project euler thread
 

Congrats Marcus! I haven't have the time to tackle this lately, but I'll change that in the next few days!

Re: THE project euler thread
 

Some of my solutions suck though.

leonid, remember that question with the 2000x2000 matrix thing? I brute-forced it with squaring ;-;

One guy had a hilarious solution to... can't remember which problem, but he brute-forced it in 500+ hours in VBA, lmfao.

Re: THE project euler thread
 

why have so few people solved 177? looks pretty easy to me

gonna attempt that next I think

Re: THE project euler thread
 

I've been working on 177 for like a week. It's hard. It was one of those annoying "low-numbered but crazy" problems like 152 that give a lot of trouble and are hard to get out of the way.

Also the inverse phi one was kinda cool.

Re: THE project euler thread
 

Done some work on Project Euler, well on my way to level 3 with 53 problems solved.

Re: THE project euler thread
 

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

This was such a hard problem, it's not even funny. ;-;

Re: The Project Euler thread
 

doot doot doot



procrastinated on this one pretty hard

Re: The Project Euler thread
 

starting this right now, have no idea what to expect

edit: (feeling really stupid but) do you need, like, a computer input type program for this. guh

Re: The Project Euler thread
 

I haven't started it, but I think you would normally write a program that spits out text into a console and then you copy and paste that as your answer.

Re: The Project Euler thread
 

You just need any programming language.

I usually use either Python or C++ (mostly Python).

Re: The Project Euler thread
 

Bam! Oh how I have wanted this badge for so very long

Re: The Project Euler thread
 

Almost forgot to post this one:

Re: The Project Euler thread
 

100 paasento

Re: The Project Euler thread
 

project euler dominated :o

Re: The Project Euler thread
 

lucked out getting the Perfection badge just in time... this new one is a doozy.

Re: The Project Euler thread
 

383 looks easy as ****
EDIT: as of 5:29 i have a formula for T5(5^n)
EDIT: as of 5:38 i have a general formula for T5(n)... sorta
EDIT: BAM

the most coding i did was with spreadsheets and i found the answer about 2 hours from starting work on it

Re: The Project Euler thread
 

Haven't even looked at 383 yet... tried 382 for a bit and couldn't solve it, so I took a break, haha.

Re: The Project Euler thread
 

Decided to try 383. Got a working approach for T5(n) very quickly but I don't think it's scalable yet

EDIT: Figured out T5(5^n)
