For you smart folks, with to much time.

Found by accident a link to a site, that made me think of the golfing here.
It's stuffed with mathematical problems and can be found right here Project Euler. Enjoy, while I go read something more understandable.
Quote:
What is Project Euler?
Project Euler is 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.

oh that site reminds me of when i was wanting a square root function... and had to code one.

Problem 1 & 2 were solved pretty quick. The square root thingie is indeed a showstopper for problem 3
I've done some quick research about it, when I find some time I'll see if I can conjure up something

I enjoy checking out my old threads. My gawd, I've been spewing stuff around here ;).

Found this when I started to play with Python back in 2009 ...
doing those problems for almost a year got me to
Kix could solve only one or two of the problems there.

digging around a bit, problem 500 is a giveaway with only 15% dificulty rating
Quote:
The number of divisors of 120 is 16.
In fact 120 is the smallest number having 16 divisors.
Find the smallest number with 2^500500 divisors.
Give your answer modulo 500500507.
Think I get a bit too old for these

I've played on there some myself. Actually managed to do quite a few using only kix. It made it more challenging to say the least.

Actually playing with one of my unsolved that holds potential for a golf course.
It's difficulty rating is 15%, but man, that's an algorithm shizzle. Hungarian Algorithm seems to be the solution but I can't even get my head around the basics there
Brute forcing this holds 15! (1307674368000) combinations. hm hm hm
maybe I found another one that is not that difficult to grasp.

Re: For you smart folks, with to much time.

Which question is it?
About a year or so ago...I was able to solve the following (using mostly just Kix).
1,2,4-7, 9-12, 15-20, 22, 28, 31, 34, 36, 37, 39, 42, 50, 52, 67, 75, 76, 79
After that, it started getting very hard to find problems you could solve without a different language. So that's where I left it lol.

that feeling when you answer successful on ProjectEuler after 7 years of hibernation
*Note the leap from 155 to 156 in the graphic above
Now! Let's see what we can make of this (SFK32), so Allen finally gets to tee off here

nothing to be afraid of.
Easy is the level, PLUS there will be a special trophy not related to strokes to win revealed in the public round

Re: For you smart folks, with to much time.

well, have the Kix representation ready, steady and bulletproof now.
Will try to find the time tomorrow to get it packed into the golf bag.

Probably gonna need to announce this thing is coming up so we can get a hold of the golfers... this is no small feat, I know from experience
