Project Euler is a web site offering a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming skills will be required to solve most problems.
The motivation for starting Project Euler, and its continuation, is to provide a platform for the inquiring mind to delve into unfamiliar areas and learn new concepts in a fun and recreational context.
There currently are 252 problems of varying difficulty. Each month a few problems get added to the list. Problem
solvers are grouped in levels
according to the number of problems they solved correctly; there are seven
levels ranging from 0 to 6.
So far 69274 users have submitted 1195499 correct solutions; that is an average of 17.3 problems per user.
I registered on june 26th, 2009 and currently have reached level 2
by solving 50 problems.
I have used C# for tackling the problems. Others use a variety of languages; languages with good BigInteger and List support (such as Haskell) are favored by many.
