Nothing solved since months ;(

Maybe someone should (re)start solving some of higher numbered puzzles or give some hints to do so...

Good luck,
Michael

Same here, after about 14% I was getting out of my depth. It wasn't so much that I couldn't solve the problems but that I couldn't even understand the questions :oops:

It's been ages since I've looked at Project Euler. I really want to get back to it, but other projects are eating up what little time I have at the moment. :?

Kind regards,

Toutous? :shock:
That's the generic name for stuffed bears and other cuddly things for children, right ?
The kids have grown and moved out of the nest, but the house is still full of toutous.
Does that count for a medal too? :lol:

On the serious side, my thanks go to michaeled314 for posting this subject and making me discover a very interesting and stimulating site.
Challenging too. :!:

I've got 2 solutions so far. http://projecteuler.net/index.php?secti ... ofile=blue

That too. Spelled "Toutou", it's French for stuffed toys in the shape of animals (Mickey with the big black ears would qualify, for instance)

Kind of the same here for quite a few of their questions. :oops: It's a humbling experience.

Well... I've done problems 1 and 2 (answers submitted and accepted), and I've completed #3, but Euler is apparently not pleased with my answer. So I've been kind of puzzled, dazed and sad for a while now...

Is that the luck you're inquiring about ??? 8)
