I learned so much from this site- including that so much education comes from being prompted to ask the right questions.

I love a good puzzle solving club. Some of my favorites: https://www.themastertheorem.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perplex_City https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MindTrap

A great one of my favorite websites of the past. Wonder how they are coping with the issue of their users using AI to solve problems.

It is a mostly single player game, if users want to cheat they are only cheating themselves really, right?

I suppose I wonder how those users are coping with having the robots do all the stuff instead of them doing some of the stuff.

I think a hat-tip is due to freeCodeCamp for introducing Project Euler (along with Rosetta Code) to a new generation of programmers:

I discovered project euler as a novice programmer in high school around 15 years ago. I loved how solving a problem unlocks a secret forum only available to other solvers. I would spend hours reading through everyone's prior solutions and trying to understand them. One guy had tagged his profile as "haskell" but would always provide his solutions in ruby which threw child-me for quite a loop (I actually thought ruby and haskell were the same language for some time)!

Wow, I can't believe this is still around! I'm glad to see artifacts from the past like this are still out there on the internet.

Makes me miss Google CodeJam though.

I remember it vaguely but there used to be a badge awarded for being among the first 100 people to solve the problem. I was obsessed with getting that badge to the point that I spent obscene amount of time solving the-then recently released problem even when the following day was my final exams. I did manage to get that badge though. This was circa 2013. Fun times!

So, to remind myself, Euler's name is pronounced more like Oiler, right?

That's how I was taught, and Wikipedia agrees (and even provides audio clips alongside the IPA and English phonetic transcriptions).
