Project Euler: Advanced mathematical & programming challenges

Project Euler is like a drive-thru for experiencing the agony of solving hard problems. However, it's also a surprising rush when you do solve a problem because it means you have a decent grasp of both your programming language and basic mathematics.

The problems become increasingly difficult as you progress. The first problem took me about 5 minutes to solve with just a few lines of Ruby. The fourth problem took me 4 hours. And that's when I decided it was time to take a break for the day.

If you're feeling adventurous or have a little time on your hands and want to try something new, give Project Euler a try.
