Project Euler or I'm No Einstein

Project Euler is a site that posits a number (196 to be exact) of mathematical and programming challenges, for anyone who feels up to it to take a crack. I do not feel, I am up to it, and yet I have solved three of the problems already. Just imagine what an even more intelligent human could do. The answer is solve more problems faster. The exciting thing with Project Euler, as with all programming problems is how many different ways there are to go about getting the same solution. Once you get the correct answer, you are let into a forum where many other solutions have been posted. It's a nice insight into the infinite nature of these problems.

Euler Solutions:::

I'm no mathematician. In fact, up until very recently I have spent the greater part of my life avoiding math like an obscure dying relative, but recently, I've begun to understand it. Not in the sense that I can solve it, or that I am good at it, but the big picture, math in general, its elegance and in describing the patterns in the world and universe surrounding us. I never understood until now that math was REAL! Sure they tried to tell me all through school that it was very important because some day I'd have to use this stuff to do my taxes, but that is not the type of reality this math is expressing. Who gives a shit about taxes? (Sorry government). The real issue here is the nature of reality, the nature of existence. Math gives us (admittedly very obtuse and complicated for the uninitiated) ways of seeing this reality. Anyway, many people have expressed this much more elegantly than I have. I'm just for once having fun with math, and, being of an artistic mindset most of my life, I don't know how to properly cope with my sudden plummet into hard numeric logic. Exuberance is working for now.
