project euler

Greetings !

I finally decided to put in more commitment to solve problems listed in project Euler. You can use almost any language to work out the problems or if you are the kind who believe computers are idiot boxes (which they are :P ) .. you can use a pen and paper approach to solve problems :)
I do know that answers to the problems already exist out there on the web and a simple google search would fetch you answers. I am more interested in alternate solutions to the one that i'd come up with because 1) i am a terribly lazy programmer and my memory and time utilization is terrible 2) there is always a better solution :D

For those who haven't heard of project Euler , visit : http://projecteuler.net/

If you have a passion for programming and dont know how to kill time , this is your way out of boredom ;)

And i'm back!! .. i guess :P

Its been 2 months since i came here and lot has happened in in that time .. and i was thinking on what should i put the blame on , for my absence from blog-o-sphere.. and quite a few things popped up , starting with

1) the project finals

2) the final exams of my not-so-smooth engineering education

Phew ! finally.

3) manoranjan ka baap

I thought of adding another post on the blog-o-sphere during the series.. but then, i am lazy. So ..

4) Football season

I watch football once in a blue moon . Its not because i dont like to watch it.. its just that i am a miser and i wait for free telecast of the paid channels on TV .. hehehe.. and the SCV morons thought they could make me pay for watching good football.

5) wandering aimlessly in the city

The above sentence says it all.

6) getting totally hooked onto "mafia" the game

I have missed this game so much . I had played this at my good friend's place long ago and i had ever since wanted to play it and only recently did i revamp my ol' comp. She was a good gal , a sweetheart and she was with me for the past 7 and a half years.Nothing much could be done to her.. her peripherals were failing one by one. May her circuits rest in peace ;(

7) addiction to mmorpgs: mafiaboss and mafiarise ( too much of mafia in my life)

8) project euler

9) listening to Don Vito Corelone's Words of wisdom and his tie-up with MTV :P

I think that list is enough for starters.
