The last time I was on a small learning adventure was when I was solving challenges at http://hax.tor.hu, and I managed to finish it in couple of months. Then back to boring life without learning anything new. Then, life was the usual, 5 movies a week and regular work without real use of brain.

Then, I remembered Flute, one of my teamies was a big fan of one site named Project Euler. The site is a community of people solving a bunch of math problems. Fun part, problems are challenging. To add little more to fun, you can compare your logic to others. What adds even more to fun is, those guys are crazy. Few guys solve those tough math problems in Assembly language. Yes. Assembly. And to make things even worse, for few problems, for which my code takes around 15 to 20 seconds to solve, there are logics, which solve the problem in half a second.

So, I decided to start solving the problems, with couple of aims. First, solve atleast 100 problems in next 3 months (I’ve solved around 50 in the last week, but problems get tougher after that). Second being, try to solve them with logics that take as less time as possible rather than brute-forcing everything.

Now, there is another site, which runs on similar basis, called RoseCode. There are few nice problems there too. If you enjoy solving Project Euler, you will probably enjoy this too.

Just few moments before, I thought I will create a github repository with all solutions and later changed my mind of making them public and indexable. But anyway, if you happened to start solving Project Euler or Rose Code and want to compare your solutions with mine, I’m a tweet away to send you my codes.

By the way, you might want to register WeChall, if you start solving RoseCode. WeChall is a global ranking site, which can let you fight with few nice coders/hackers etc. Also, my nickname in all the sites is [108, 97, 122, 121, 105, 100, 105, 111, 116]
