Sometime ago I found a pretty swell website with a bunch of math/programming problems called Project Euler. I forgot to bookmark it, and my search for it later when I wanted to try a few of the problems didn't bring me back to it. Luckily, I have no life and spend an absurd amount of time online, so a few days ago I came across it again. Anyway, I've been doing a few of the problems in Ruby. Other then not understanding some of the math, my biggest problem has been optimizing functions so they run quickly enough to not spend hours and hours (or weeks, or years..) running. I wish one learned more about optimizing during computer science classes here at UNI, but it's been an interesting challenge to do outside of class.

It's funny the things a person will do to avoid doing actual work.

Side note: If you have an account, feel free to check out my profile to see the problems I've completed. You have to be logged in to view profiles, which is somewhat silly.
