       | a programming language.

         | To be honest, I don't see people talking about it that much.

         | people here.

           | is closer to your average HN user

         | It's been discussed quite a bit in the past. I love Project
         | Euler, but haven't been active for a few years. Even then I
         | felt like the social aspect of it wasn't designed for
         | newcomers; a lot of activity on new problems happens as soon as
         | it becomes available and then it mostly freezes. The problems
         | get pretty hard on average once you're past the first hundred,
         | one reason I personally found it hard to keep going.

         | Been heavily involved for the past 7 years. Been at the 100%

         | past couple weeks - PE910 is _hard_

           | Wow. The idea of getting to 100% on PE is almost
           | incomprehensible to me. I've solved basically none outside
           | the first couple pages.

           | What was your strategy like? How much math background do you
           | have?
